Walking home from work about 3 a.m. after snowstorm, in a ravine with a small creek at the bottom saw a 5-foot creature covered with long black hair playing in the snow. It was bending over at the waist, throwing snow in the air with both hands with a wide scooping motion, so that it came down on its head, rolling in the snow, and doing sommersalts. Terrified, slipped by within 35 yards without being noticed, then ran home. Paved road but no residences anywhere near. Bryant and 9th Sts., now Hafer Park. Est. weight 160 lb. In sight a long time.
