Incident #993009
Rivesville, Monongalia Cty, West Virginia
Apr 1999
Account
The day after a sighting by her older brother and his wife and son, Pamela's younger brother and uncle, on an unsuccessful search for tracks, saw the creature come out of the woods 400 yards away. They watched it cross a road, go down a hill and out of sight in a valley, then come up the other side of the hill, walk along the edge of a field and enter a wooded area. The brother watched with binoculars. He also shouted but the creature did not react. Pamela's report also refers to what seems to be a third sighting by the older brother and his son while 4-wheeling in the area, but the time sequence is not clear and there are no details.
