Incident #992375
Greensburg, Westmoreland Cty, Pennsylvania
Aug 1973
Account
Four adults and a child on a green on Greensburg Country Club looking for worms when they noticed two dark, hairy creatures about 20 yards away' one aout 6 ft., the other about 4 ft. They were stooped over as if they were looking for something, but when they moved they walked upright. They ran behind some trees and the witnesses headed that way for a closer look, but then heard branches breaking and heavy footsteps. They turned to see a huge hair-covered creature, over 9 feet tall, with glowing red eyes, headed in their direction, and they fled. Other sightings have taken place on the golf course.
