Grey Ghost of Kinchafoonee Creek

Setting: Late summer, humid afternoon; Whaley was cutting brush near the creek when he heard splashing. What happened: He went to investigate, saw the creature about 30 feet away, and fled. When he returned with others later, they found large, human-like footprints in the mud but no further sign of the creature.
