“Letter from a young man in sherman, new york: I am writing because about three or four years ago, [circa. 1965-66] I saw a white monster in a swamp beside our house. I have been seeing these things ever since then and close to our house. One night it came down in our yard.” “這里是來自于紐約謝爾曼的一位年輕人的信,內容如下:我寫這封信是因為大約三四年前(大約1965或66年)我在我們房子旁邊的沼澤里看到了一個白色的怪物。從那時起,我就一直會在我們家附近看到這些東西。就在一天晚上,這東西來到了我們的院子里?!?/blockquote>
這封信接著描述了這頭巨獸的特征:
“It stands between twelve and eighteen feet high, it has a long tail between six and eight feet long. It is all covered with hair. They are always white. I have seen them alone or two at a time. It can walk on two feet or four feet. It is almost a double for a prehistoric sloth. My whole family has seen this thing and I know of two more men who have seen them… I am fifteen years old and i am not kidding. I have seen these things and they are real.” “這東西有12到18英尺那么高,還長有一條6到8英尺長的尾巴,全身都覆蓋著長長的白色毛發(fā)。我曾有一次見過一兩只這種生物。它既可以用兩條腿走路,又可以用四條腿走路。這幾乎是史前樹懶的兩倍。我的家人都見過這東西,我還知道有兩個男人也見過這家伙……我十五歲了,我并不是在開玩笑。我真的見過這些東西,它們的確是真實存在的。”
