Account
James Gump says he and his brother and his mother and father all saw many large humanlike footprints at their house, presumably made by something that could be heard screaming in the middle of the night and that had several times knocked down drainpipes at their house. On Whetstone Road, 2 miles west of Mannington. This went on for several days, then stopped.
