The next day Correa was working in the valley when he "got a feeling" that something was going to happen, so he went and got his gun. As he approached the chicken coop, he saw a dark-colored creature coming out of a nearby ditch, standing and looking at him with one hand raised and one palm open. 

He could only see the creature from the waist up, the rest was hidden behind the vegetation around the ditch. Correa was on the verge of shooting him when the thought occurred to him:

"Maybe if I fire the gun, the thing will make it explode right in my face." 

At that moment of hesitation, he heard the creature dive back into the ditch. And then he smelled a strong smell, like crushed garlic mixed with sulfur. Correa quickly searched the entire ditch and cleared away all the vegetation, but found no trace of the creature. 

He described the creature as "ugly" with a flatter crown. The eyes were larger than humans with yellowish spots on them. His face was lined and his skin was dark. The eyes were large, round, and unblinking. He had a short beard, the same shade as his hair, reddish-brown. The mouth was half-closed, very wide, and a little square. He had two large, wide, very white teeth.

The next day Correa was working down in the valley when he “got a feeling” that something was going to happen so he went and got his gun. When he was near the henhouse he saw coming out of a nearby ditch, a dark colored creature that stood and stared at him with its arm raised, the palm open. He could only see the creature from the waist upward, the rest of it being hidden by the vegetation around the ditch. Correa was just at the verge on firing at it when a thought came to him, “Maybe if I fire my revolver the thing will make it explode in my face.” During this moment of hesitation he heard the creature dive back into the ditch again. And then he smelt a powerful odor resembling crush garlic mixed with sulfur. Correa promptly searched the entire ditch and scythed away all the vegetation, but found not the slightest trace of the creature. He described the creature as “ugly” with the top of its head flatter. The eyes were bigger than humans, with yellowish spots on them. The face was wrinkled and the skin was dark. The eyes were big and round and unblinking. It had a short goatee of the same shade as its hair, which was reddish brown. The mouth was half closed, and was very wide and a bit squarish. It had two big, broad, very white teeth.
