Account
Marine sharpshooter on leave, hunting in woods near raillroad track, 8.30 a.m., heard noise like steps, went over the crest of a hill and saw what looked like a black stump, then saw an arm move and realized it was a creature eating apples, putting them whole in its mouth. He shot at it with a shotgun and it got up and chased him down over the hill. Shots did not bother it, but it turned and ran back in the woods when it got to a clearing with a house. About 8 ft., arms a foot below knees. Later found tracks 2 feet long, and went back with a neighbour and saw two such creatures sitting back to back by a tunnel under a hill beneath a cemetery. Shot again with shotgun, to no effect.
