Beth Brant and her husband were sitting in their trailer when they saw the back of a big, hairy, apelike creature walking through the trailer park. They watched until it disappeared in the darkness. This was about 11.30 p.m. in the Superior Trailer Court, and was the first of three sightings Beth had that summer.
