Sighting record / 1891
Crawfordsville, Indiana. About two in the morning on September 5, 1891. Two ice-delivery men, Marshall McIntyre and Bill Gray, were hitching their wagon. A feeling of "awe and dread" came over them. They looked up. Something white hung above them, about eighteen feet long and eight feet wide. It moved on several pairs of side fins. No head. No tail. Just "one great flaming eye." From a mouth they could not see came "a sort of a wheezing plaintive sound." It stayed for nearly an hour. The same night, a local pastor and his wife watched it swim through the air like a serpent.
