Incident #992517
Torrance, Westmoreland Cty, Pennsylvania
Dec 1988
Account
Bob Bronson and a friend were hunting in a cornfield near Gray Station when his friend saw movement in the distance. Through his rifle scope Bronson watched an apelike creature walk along the edge of a wooded area heading for another wooded area. It was very tall, with long black hair all over its body. The face was apparently bare, but black. The head came to a point on the top. Since it had large breasts he presumed it was a female. They later found 3-toed tracks where it walked.
