Near the local forest preserve two men were walking back home engaged in conversation when suddenly from behind a light pole a strange figure emerged. The creature had a horrible appearance according to the men, it was about 5-feet tall, with an oval shaped head, with huge fiery orange reddish eyes. It had very short arms, resembling chicken feet, with sharp claws. It had a crest like protuberance on its head. Its legs were thick and robust looking. As they watched, the creature, it began approaching them, terrified they ran from the area towards the nearby road, where they apparently hitched a ride from the site. (Precursor to the Chupacabra?? The similarities are undeniable)
