c-;The fourth person to “meet” th* Wildeir Creek moMfar day he was clawed on the hand.David\L. Dickinson, 18, 894 Baft Michigan, a mechanic in his father's auto-repair shop, said he and three other boys were “curious”' about the existence of the monster and went out to an area about a half mile southeast of Wilder Creek Friday night.Dickinson said he and his companions saw a door of one of the 22 buildings “open and shut.” They decided to investigate and, as he opened the door, “somethin? clawed me.”He and Virgil Halbert, 18, ran back to the car and hurried into Marshall. Dickinson, whose cut on the middle finger of his hand was then bleeding, stopped a Marshall police department prowl car by holding the bleeding nand aloft. Police radioed sheriff’s deputies, whose cars led a procession composed largely of Marshall youth, whose current sport is * organizing “monster hunts.”The officers checked the building but found nothing, only a halffilled pickle vat.“It could have been a person in the building,” Dickinson agreed. He said he saw nothing, but said there was “no chance” that his cut came from a nail or a broken window pane.The monster story first came into being about a month ago when three laborers reported encountering a green-eyed beast, which allegedly picked up two of them and tried to cart them off.Authorities, though, have yet to see the monster.
