1959, CONNEAUTVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA, USA, CAROLINE MCADOO:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

US researchers Paul Johnson and Stan Gordon reported that in 1959 in Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA, a woman walking home along a rural road saw the shadow of a creature with a huge body and small head. She reported a choking odor of rotten garbage, and various vocalizations including whistling, laughing, and screaming sounds. She reported that the creature touched her shoulder.

These researchers indicate that the same woman had two other Bigoot encounter in the same Pennsylvania County in 1946 and 1960. The 1946 report was in Dicksonburg, she was a young girl playing in the woods and grabbed what she thought was a tree stump on the ground, but it arose and it was a large, black hairy bipedal creature with dark eyes, wide mouth, and large square teeth. The hair felt like pine needles. The 1960 sighting was in Springboro on a summer day, when she reportedly saw a large hairy creature with broad shoulders and a small head, walking on two legs, with deep set eyes that glowed white like a light bulb even in the daylight. These two reports were also submitted by Paul Johnson and Stan Gordon. The woman thus reported 3 of the 7 Bigfoot sightings in Crawford County. All the reports seem to have been pucblished in the 2000's.

A ufology article in Spanish apparently written in 1994 mentioning the 1946 sighting indicates that the woman's name is Caroline MacAdoo and that she is from Springboro; the same name is given in a later ufology catalogue.

[Ref. pr1:] PENNSYLVANIA RESEARCHERS ORGANIZATION:

The website indicates that in 1959 in Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA, a woman walking home along a rural road saw the shadow of a creature with a huge body and small head. She reported a choking odor of rotten garbage, and various vocalizations including whistling, laughing, and screaming sounds. She reported that the creature touched her shoulder.

The web site indicates that this report was from the same woman that reported sightings in 1946 and 1960 in the same county.

The website indicates that this report was submitted by Paul Johnson and Stan Gordon.

[Ref. pb1:] PENNSYLVANIA BIGFOOT SOCIETY:

The website indicates that in 1959 in Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, USA, a woman walking home along a rural road saw the shadow of a creature with a huge body and small head. She reported a choking odor of rotten garbage, and various vocalizations including whistling, laughing, and screaming sounds. She reported that the creature touched her shoulder.

The web site indicates that this report was from the same woman that reported sightings in 1946 and 1960 in the same county.

The website indicates that this report was submitted by Paul Johnson and Stan Gordon via the www.paresearchers.com website.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Conneautville, Pennsylvania, in 1959, at night, Caroline McAdoo (involved in other encounters) was walking home along a rural road when she saw the shadow of a creature with a huge body and a small head. She reported a choking odor of rotten garbage and various vocalizations comprising of whistling, laughing, and screaming sounds. The creature touched the shoulder of the witness.

[Ref. sc1:] SCOTT CORRALES:

Scott Corrales indicates that Caroline McAdoo, of Springboro, USA, met Bigfoot three times since 1946. The first time she was a child and played in the forest when she grabbed what she believed to be a stock of tree on the ground, but the "stock" rose and was a biped creature with dark eyes, a large mouth and large square teeth, whose hair resembled "pine tree needles."

Points to consider:

The [pr1] source also publishes the reports indicates to be from the same woman in years 1946 and 1960. The 1946 report was in Dicksonburg, she was a young girl playing in the woods and grabbed what she thought was a tree stump on the ground, but it arose and it was a large, black hairy bipedal creature with dark eyes, wide mouth, and large square teeth. The hair felt like pine needles. The 1960 sighting was in Springboro on a summer day, when she reportedly saw a large hairy creature with broad shoulders and a small head, walking on two legs, with deep set eyes that glowed white like a light bulb even in the daylight. These two reports were also submitted by Paul Johnson and Stan Gordon. The woman thus reported 3 of the 7 Bigfoot sightings in Crawford County.

I unfortunately found no investigation report or more precise and complete information, in particular about the personality of the witness; but anyway, I do not see any solid relationship with the question of the UFO occupants, these three creatures are very "animal", no UFO is seen, and I thus think that this case rather belongs to cryptozoology than ufology.

List of issues:
