Account
In St. James Cemetery, a large, hairy, apelike creature walked out of the woods towards a mother and her baby. She grabbed the child, ran to her car and drove 5 miles to her father's home. An hour later her brother and sister saw what they thought was the same creature standing at the corner of the house. At the cemetery there was an overowering rotten odour.
