The brief paragraph detailed how a local lad in the vicinity of Chambers Bay had discovered two of his prize sheep, mutilated and half-eaten, amidst a scene of extensive destruction in the woods adjacent to his father's farm. I reread the item twice and handed it back to her. It was a long way from being conclusive evidence in support of anything. |

The second item had more substance to it. Only this time it was a horse and, according to the article, a big horse. The article indicated the big animal had been killed and eaten on the spot. Again there was the mention of extensive damage to the surrounding countryside, but there was a kicker in this report. Authorities reported finding unusual animal prints over the entire area. The prints were described as being quite large, almost 14 inches in span and yet quite similar to that of a humanexcept that there were three fingers and two thumbs. |
