The first incident occured on Monday night, 4 June 1973; the other two happened between 4 June and 8 June 1973.

The creature was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, broad shouldered, with red eyes that cannot stand light. It makes no sound even when it walks. One male described to police an incident in which it ripped his shirt and scratched his chest. Reports described the creature as "lurking in the woods."
