"What has stuck with me all these years was not so much the height but the width/girth of this thing. It was massively wide. It looked pretty much spot on to the one in that Patterson film."
I received the following account:
"This happened in Greene County, Pennsylvania a few miles west of Carmichaels. This was a long time ago though, back in 1980. I was a kid, 10 years old, and with my father when we saw one. That encounter burned into my brain like it just happened yesterday.
My father grew up there and we were there visiting my grandmother. About 1/4 mile down the road, one of my uncles was having a house built so my father and I decided to walk down the road to see it. As we approached the property we saw his work truck. He kept his German shepherd chained to the truck just so it wouldn’t run off when he wasn’t around. What we found odd was that his German shepherd had crawled under the truck and was whining like it was scared.
We walked around the truck, about 50-60 ft away there was a small hill that was dug out for the new house foundation. My father saw it before I did, grabbed my hand, and said “Stop.” Right beside the dugout area for the foundation, there was a large tree. Standing against the tree, kind of leaning against it was one of them. It was big. It was black. It was partially behind the tree, almost like it was playing peek-a-boo. We leaned to the side to match its movement. Then it moved to the other side and stepped out in full-on view. My father picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and hauled butt to my grandmother’s house 1/4 away.
Once we got in the house he told everyone to get in the back room, he and two of his brothers hit their hunting rifles and went back to the spot. They didn’t find anything. It was gone. My uncle’s German shepherd was back out from under the truck and barking as usual. My uncles gave me and my father a bunch of crap for making up some story.
Ironically the local newspaper ran an article a couple days after that about people saying they saw some kind of large creature all up and down the river that ran a few miles away from where we saw it. This was a long time ago so I can’t say for certain how big it was because a lot of things look big to a 10-year-old. If I had to put a height estimate, maybe 7 or 8 feet. What has stuck with me all these years was not so much the height but the width/girth of this thing. It was massively wide. It looked pretty much spot on to the one in that Patterson film. It displayed no aggression towards us that day. More of a curiosity.
My father and I talked about it a few times over the years. He always wanted to try and find one again once he retired and had time on his hands. Sadly that never happened because he passed away recently. To this day I refuse to go outside at night whenever I visit my relatives up there. It’s hard to explain but seeing one of these things is a life-changing event." B
