Incident #992351
Cambridge Springs, Crawford Cty, Pennsylvania
late 1950's
Account
A friend of Edward Frew was bothered by something pounding on his farmhouse at night. A group waited up for it on a darkened porch, and when it showed up long past midnight someone shot it. It ran off through a cornfield and into a wooded area. They tried to follow it in a jeep but could not go very fast and did not catch up, then followed on foot for some miles, by looking,, among other things, for blood, but it was faster than they were.
