Incident #992499
Annville, Lebanon Cty, Pennsylvania
Sep 1985
Account
Ed Kreamer and girlfriend sitting on screened porch heard movement in yard and saw about 75 feet away a 6.5-foot hairy, apelike creature, with no neck and head coming to a point at the top. They watched it walk with long strides along a fence line to a county road, cross that and disappear in a field beyond. Unusually long arms swung as it walked. German Shepherd dog started barking, but ran in the house when the creature passed its pen. Two weeks later, after Kreamer and his familly had heard loud shrieks from a wooded hollow behind the house, Dick McGee found a series of rained-out footprints 18 inches long with a 4.5 foot stride.
