Updated 9 November 2025.  The Waynesboro (PA) Record published this article on December 22, 1920.  Many of the sightings are those described in other newspaper articles, but this one includes a detailed description of the two encounters near Canoe Creek, Pennsylvania.  There stories are near the end.
