A fisherman sees a tall, hairy creature walking along the river; it screamed and ran towards the man, beating its chest like a gorilla. The man fled on his horse. The creature could not keep up.

May 1897

Denton Hill, PA

A man saw a large, strange creature eating a groundhog. Looking up and seeing him, it stood and screamed, beating its chest. Growing more irate, it jumped 30 ft towards him and began to charge. The creature walked on two legs, was nearly 6 feet tall, had 6 - 7 inch tusks protruding from its mouth, and was hairy all over, especially on its head. The man's dog barked at it and frightened it away before it could attack.

The P.N. is a rare kind of bigfoot, a "tusked bigfoot." There are less than 3 species of tusked bigfoot in the fossil record, one of which is still living.

A species of tusked bigfoot, the Potter Nondescript is not to be messed with. Highly territorial and aggressive, I have seen them beat a bear to death with only a rock and tear a full-grown man in half. Avoid at all costs.
