Here is a another pic.

When I was a kid living in western Pa. we would hunt for henweigh's up in the foothills of the Allegheny's, during the late evenings. Older folks would caution us to beware of the "Albatwitch" ( I always believed Albatwitch's were endemic to the Allegheny mt. area, surprised to learn they're not), especially if you got a strong whiff of Chestnut. Now if you're familiar with a Chestnut, you'll understand just what I'm talking about.

As for the creature in question. With the observation of All Saints Day underway, I'm going to say it's a here-to-fore unseen, wild, man like creature that sucks the blood out of innocent children dressed in ghoulish costumes, who insist on banging on my door and then expect me to reward them with hands full of MY candy. Well, maybe some but not my Nuggets with Almonds.
Any other time I would think the photographs are of an anemic bear, probably very ill.

Traffic guy on the way home the other night said to chase them young buggers off your yard with a chain saw and a lot of their previously gotten candy will fall out of the bags they are clutching as they run in mortal fear of their lives! Said he thinks you should come up with almost a full bag of candy for your self that way...
