Account
James Moore tells of a female seeing a big white thing in the woods, then in late September or early October, 1997, he and a friend saw one. Walking in the woods about 5 p.m. they came into a field and saw a slim 7-ft. white creature standing in the trees about 100 feet away. It turned and ran away, very fast. He also tells of finding footprints on more than one occasion, usually in snow, sometimes in mud, usually 14 inches long, barefoot, not narrow in the arch like human feet. (Moore's e-mail address is confidential.)
