- A farmer from Argentina's Entre Rios province reported
that "a strange animal having quasi-human characteristics" caused
damage to his henhouse and had been seen prowling the farm-- located in
the rural department of Colonia Elía-- on several occasions.
-
- The complaint was made at the Colonia Elía sheriffs'
office by Oscar Resteinor, who claimed having witnessed the strange creature's
presence around his home for some twenty days.
-
- According to the "El Diario" newspaper in Paraná,
the alleged creature had yellowish hair of considerable length, claw-like
hands and left very large footprints.
-
- Criminalistics personnel from the Uruguay Departmental
Precinct collected samples at the site from one footprint -- between human
and animal -- which included hair and other elements that would lend credibility
to the claim made by the rural producer.
-
- Police elements found, upon reaching the sight, several
large-size prints measuring between 6 and 10 cm long, and including a "claw-nail"
stuck to a tree trunk.
-
- Resteinor stated that relatives and neighbors stood nightly
guard around the house after having ascertained that the strange creature
had ripped through the henhouse roof and killed several birds. Some locals
claimed having seen an allegedly "light brown animal" of considerable
size fleeing from the site.
-
- Last Saturday, around 20:30 hours, one of Resteinor's
children saw the creature prowling around the henhouse again. Accompanied
by a group of neighbors, the boy pursued the intruder, but the strange
creature got away.
