Incident #992547
Lock Haven, Clinton Cty, Pennsylvania
Jun 1990
Account
Turning off Old Schoohouse Road to Lusk Road in Bald Eagle Township, between 3 and 4 p.m., Francis LeKits saw a tall, hairy creature put its hands on top of a guard rail and jump over with both feet. He stopped within 10 feet of it and it walked towards him at a diagonal, heading across the road, watching the stopped vehicles, gave a grunt as it reached the shoulder of the road, hesitated, then walked down a slight bank into bushes in a field and towards woods. It ran into the woods and disappeared. Estimated 7 to 8-feet, covered with long, shaggy, dark chocolate brown hair, tangled, knotted and shedding. Eyes the size of a quarter, almond-shape, without whites. Stunk like old, rotting garbage. Built like a heavy, muscular man, but fatter in stomach and butt.
