Incident #992369
Greensburg, Westmoreland Cty, Pennsylvania
Jun 1973
Account
Several teenagers, one the son of the witness in 2367, were hiking through the woods toward Greengate Mall when they heard noises in the thickets ahead and one threw a rock in that direction. They expected a deer, but from the other side of the thicket an enormous gorilla-like figure emerged walking on two legs. They watched it proceed to cross Rhodabaugh Road and disappear in a wooded area behind the 2367 witness' house. Stan Gordon searched both wooded areas and found, photographed and cast the footprint referred to in 2367.
