Initial data
The godless-looking creature caused havoc among the local God-fearing Amish community.
Witnesses described the creature as being the size of a good calf, grey in color with a white mane. It had tiger fangs and curved horns like Billy the goat. It ran straight on long legs and had long grizzly claws.
In one incident, the creature sent a team of horses and two brothers flying as it approached their hay wagon.
The next day, a man was mowing weeds on his farm about five miles from the previous incident when he heard a furious roar and turned to see a monster with three horns and a tail rushing towards him. He raised the scythe to protect himself, but the weapon was torn from his hands. At this moment, the man wisely decided to turn both cheeks to the monster and ran away as fast as he could.
A day later, a woman was feeding a bird on a farm midway between the two previous incidents when she heard a noise and turned to see the creature grabbing the goose with each hand. She ran bravely toward the creature, waving her apron. The woman managed to pull one of her geese out when the creature hurled it at her, knocking her off her feet. The intruder then ran off with the remaining bird in his hand.
