Lori Gabriel quoted as having heard branches breaking for four or five nights, and having seen big footprints everywhere in the back yard. There were also middle sized and small footprints. Jeremy Corbin, a tenant, reports seeing a 7-foot creature covered with reddish brown hair outside his window at 5 a.m. He could not see it well without his glasses "then it just disappeared". Gabriel says there were also footprints in a yard across the street.
