Albert Jack's Ten Minute Mysteries

Chapter 2

Naturally the authorities were a little sceptical of these crazy kids, but then another sighting was reported. Two hours after the first incident, fifteen-year-old John Baxter was looking from his bedroom window when he spotted a strange short figure wandering along street. He claimed that he then pursued the creature into a wooded area nearby and observed the beast as it sat without moving for several minutes. While the cynics among us would suggest the lad should have stubbed out his illicit cigarette, gone back to bed and stick to more plausible excuses in future, others have pointed out that the description of what he had seen was near identical to Bill Bartlett’s.
