Two men were walking in the woods near the Friendsview Manor when they
caught a glimpse of a weird, 2-legged creature running through a patch of grass
to the left of the walking path. They were startled, as it was running into the dark.
About 5 minutes later, 100 yards up the path, they
saw this ‘thing’ run by again.
This time they could see that it had two skinny dark legs (like the hind ones of a
deer, forked forward at the knees). It was short (approximately waist level) and leaping/running farther up the trail. It was dark,
and definitely not a person or
deer. The thing made no noises and they only saw it
for a second. Then two days
later while playing disc golf at Ewing Young Course
on a wooded section of the
course, two other men and one of the original witnesses saw a similar creature
during the day. As they approached the number 10 hole from behind the basket,
they saw the same thing. It had slick greasy looking black hair like that of a dog
and the same forked legs at the knee. They could not see a face, because a small
tree blocked the view. After about 5 seconds of standing still, it hopped behind
the tree out of sight. When they went to look, it was gone. The source contacted a
local pet owner who had once owned wallabies and stated that the last time had
any of them it was 2 years ago. He also affirmed that he doubted that wallabies
could survive in this climate during the winter.
