Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Paul J. Mateja:

12/02/04: Spoke with Jason and his mother.

His mother confirmed that he did see something that scared him to death. He would not sleep alone in his bedroom after the incident. She also has heard odd animal noises emanating from the hills behind her house.

Jason added the following:
- He is now 22 years old, but it still gives him goose bumps to talk about it.
- They were playing about 60 yards behind the house and the creature was another 40 yards beyond.
- He was the only one to see it. The sighting only lasted about 3 seconds. By the time he caught his brothers’ attention it was gone.
- The creature was at least 8 feet tall.
- He could not make out the facial features, but, it had a pointed or conical shaped head.
- It had short brown-black hair covering most of its body. The chest area appeared to be lighter in color. In retrospect, Jason believes it may have been a female. Shorter, thinner hair covering its breasts may have caused the color contrast that he mistook for lighter colored hair.
- The trees they inspected later were 3 inches or more in diameter and were broken and twisted down.
- The footprints were not sharply defined. But, you could tell that something large and heavy had made them.
