Account
Norval Thomas, driving down hill to Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant at 11 p.m. saw a dark form cross the road in front of him, and as he went by it on the side of the road he noted that the creature was more than 7 feet tall. He told Urlo Williams head of the security force at the power plant, and they and others went back with flashlights and found tracks twice as long as a size 10.5 boot, and four to five feet apart. They also heard repeated screams in the woods. Robert Chance investigated and found more tracks.
