| sasysquatchgirl Dec 18 | On the night of July 26, 1895, in the Delaware County resort town of Margaretville, Peter Thomas was driving a team of horses on a lone road when a "wild-eyed man or ape" stood in the road ahead. Thomas said the creature had "long and hairy arms" and was "uttering a raucous, inarticulate cry." He said the creature twisted the neck of one of his horses before dragging it into the darkness. The creature was "seven feet high, of human shape, covered with hair." The next day, local farmer John Cook said he shot "a ferocious ape-like being," before it grabbed him and threw him to the ground. The wild man stood "about seven feet tall, entirely nude, covered with black hair, with a long beard and with teeth which project from its mouth like fangs" .
