Location. Mt. Crawford, South Australia
Date: August 2000
Time: late night
16-year old J Pettina and some friends were camping in an isolated area filming for a web page they were working on. It was getting dark and Pettina decided to go for a walk. It got darker and darker when he realized he was lost. Soon he heard footsteps about 10 meters behind him. He turned and saw in the distance a figure dressed in black clothing, as it got closer, it started whispering. It was a male voice. It said he was going to take the witness back to its lair in the mountains and eat his flesh (!) and see what his body was made of. The terrified witness was frozen to the spot and wanted to run but could not. As it came closer the witness could see that its face was red and that it had a long nose. His eyebrows were thick and he talked without moving his lips. Then he heard his friends scream out his name, he turned to see where they were for a split second, and when he looked back the strange creature was gone. The witness rushed back to his friends and told them what had happened but he was not believed. That night he was awoken by footsteps again. He did not want to move. He curled up in a ball and closed his eyes tight. The whispering started again and the witness heard it say that he would return when he was alone. None of his friends heard it.
