Account
Cooking hot dogs about 3 a.m. at a campfire near a mobile home in a summer cottage area near Conniquinessing Creek, about a mile of Rte 68, Eric Hess and Steve and Mike heard something walking in the woods in front of them. There was a crash as if something had hit the mobile home. Hess went to wake another friend at his cottage. While he was gone his friend Steve, putting out the fire, saw a 7 to 8-foot hairy manlike creature standing 20 feet from him. He shined a flashlight on it and called Mike. They both saw it run off, kind of hunched over.
