John Baxter, 15, was walking home to his girlfriend's house on the farm street road, 2 miles from the previous meeting, when he saw a very small figure approaching him. He called out to her, but got no response.

When it was 25 feet (7.5 m) away, the figure stopped and then quickly ran through a ravine next to the road into a nearby field. Baxter walked a few feet, then stopped, startled, and noticed a figure 30 feet (9 m) away, standing on a rock and clutching a tree trunk, looking at the boy.

He looked like a monkey with a very large head in the shape of an eight. His eyes were visible as two lighter circles in the center of his head.

Concerned about the strangeness of his appearance, Baxter backed away slowly, then turned and ran to farm street, where a car picked him up.

He drew a drawing that is very similar to the drawing of another witness.

John Baxter, 15, was walking home his girl friend’s house along a road off Farm Street, 1.2 miles from the site of the previous encounter, when he saw a very small figure approaching him. He called out but got no response. When he was 25 ft away, the figure stopped, and then ran quickly across a gully next to the road into an adjacent field. Baxter followed several feet then stopped, frightened, and observed the figure some 30 feet away as it stood on a rock and grasped a tree trunk, staring at the boy. It somewhat resembled a monkey with a very large “figure 8 head.” Its eyes were visible as two lighter circles in the center of the head. Perturbed by the strangeness of its appearance, Baxter backed away slowly, then turns and ran to Farm Street, where a car picked him up. He drew a sketch that closely matched another witness’s.
