Rachel Tolen was driving along a dark road when she stopped and saw a strange creature that seemed to be eating something on the side of the road. The creature turned to look at her, and she saw large glowing red eyes. 

She approached the creature in her car, and it suddenly flew into the air and disappeared. She described the creature as being about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, with dark brown hairy skin, with what looked like feathers covering part of its body, and a line of sharp spikes running along its back, starting at the back of its head. 

Others in the surrounding area reported seeing a similar creature, and there were reports of bizarre maiming of goats and chickens in the area. Usually the animals were found bloodless.
