Account
Informant's husband outside watering lawn felt something watching, looked around and saw movement in nearby woods. Walked over and saw 7-foot, dark brown creature with a black face and no whites in its eyes. They watched each other, then he went into house and got pistol. Came back anf found it sitting on the ground 30 feet from former position. Watched it from about 200 feet away until it could no longer be seen in the dark. Two weeks later a pig was taken from a pen with a 4-foot fence, dogs barking but would not follow. A month later informant's mother saw 'a large gorilla type creature' standing at the tree line watching a man fixing the house roof. In February, 1999 a wild pig was killed and carried off near her home in the middle of the night, with many screams and howls and dogs going nuts.
