Account
With three other young boys, witness was riding in a car trying to spot deer with a flashlight, somewhere in Washington Township. He noticed a hairy, apelike figure sitting on the ground about 10 yards away in a flattened down area in long grass. It had eyes "much larger than a silver dollar". There was black skin on the face, but also hair that appeared to hang down over the chest.
