Incident #992311
Warrensburg, Warren Cty, New York
Jun 1984
Account
Fred Raaudo was sleeping beside his truck in woods on property owned by a friend when he heard something crashing and thudding through the underbrush, breathing very hard, then saw a vertical, white creature about 9 feet tall. Apparently on seeing him it made a big hop and two small hops. He got in his truck, but it went away. In the morning he checked where it had been and found footprints 15 inches long and 5 to 6 inches wide, which the owner of the property later cast.
