At 7.30 p.m. October 23, Sgt. Ken Cooper attended at Emma Smith's house on Scott Road, where he found a window broken and plastic that had covered the back door ripped off. Found Emma at her son's house next door. She said something pounded on her wall, then the window was broken. She went out the front door and her nephew, driving by, took her next door. Ken Cooper and Capt. Fred Guardipee found several large tracks in the grass and a hand print on the back door. At 2.20 a.m. approached by Sam Cooper, who said something was going on back of Emma's home on Scott Road. Went there and put spotlight in the back yard, there was a very large "ape-looking thing" standing there. Sgt. Ken got out of the car with a 12 guage shotgun, told Sam to hold the light on the creature, and walked up to 35 feet from it. It crouched down and made no attempt to run. Was black, about 7 to 8 feet high, appeared to have no neck. Covered with short hair, no hair on face, could see no ears. Small eyes, very large chest, long arms, appeared to have large teeth, two upper, two lower, nose flat and could see nostrils. Couldn't decide whether to shoot, then loud noises heard in the brush on both sides. Sgt. Ken backed out of there.
