He looked out and in the dark caught | | a glimpse of a vaguely human-like figure kneeling on the front lawn | | near a nearby empty fishpond. Curious, Dickson decided to find out | | who the stranger was. He stepped out on his front porch for a better | | look and was terrified to see a wolf-like man attempting to scoop up | | puddles of water from the bottom of the fish pond, crouched on its | | hands and knees. The sight was so shocking that Dickson suffered a | | heart attack and had to be rushed to Comanche County Memorial | | Hospital. In a report to the police Dickson described the creature as | | tall, with a lot of hair all over its face and body. It was dressed | | in an indescribable manner.
