Concerned, they decided to walk in the middle of the road. They walked slowly past the alley. Suddenly, they noticed two bright red circles that came closer. Then they realized they were his eyes. 

They both ran when the guy felt something hit him on the back. He turned and saw that a pitchfork-type tool was lying on the floor. They picked it up and ran home, later contacting the police. 

Other witnesses reported a strange drifter described as very tall, at least 6 feet 6 inches (198.1 cm), dressed in black, with a black Cape and glowing red eyes. 

Around the same time, an elderly woman reported seeing a figure "jumping" on roofs. She watched him make huge jumps of 20 or 30 feet (6-9 m), which scared her. Then she saw him climb down the side of the pub to the dump. 

He was also chased by police, but mysteriously disappeared when they cornered him in a hut.
