Although the damage to the vehicle was just as Davis had said, Truesdale suspected that it had been the work of pranksters, and that the boy had then made up the whole story of the swamp lizard man. He told the whole dramatic story to his father, who then called the Sheriff, a Liston Truesdale, who was more than a bit skeptical. I sped up and swerved to shake the creature off.Īfter the menacing creature was gone, Davis sped home as fast as he could, and would notice that not only was his rear view mirror totally destroyed, but that there were various deep gashes along the roof of the vehicle and some of the chrome on the fenders had been torn away. I thought I heard a grunt and then I could see his fingers through the front windshield, where they curled around on the roof. I could see his toes and then he jumped on the roof of my car. I looked in my mirror and saw a blur of green running. I could see him from the neck down it had three big fingers, long black nails and green rough skin.

I ran into the car and as I locked it, the thing grabbed the door handle.

It was about 25 yards away and I saw red eyes glowing. I looked back and saw something running across the field towards me.
