Dover Demon : is described as a peculiar entity with glowing
orange eyes, standing around 1 metre or (3-4 feet) high, with rough, peach
coloured, hairless, skin. Like the Cree Indian accounts of the mannegishi;
the dover demon is said to have a disproportionately large head in
comparison to its body. Its legs and arms are reported as being long
and thin, with slender and supple fingers. The creature was reported
by a 17 year old called Bill Bartlett. On the 21st of April 1977 at
around 10.30pm, while driving with two friends through Dover,
Massachusetts, his car's headlights 'suddenly illuminated a peculiar
entity picking its way along a stone wall at the side of the road'.
The creature has never been satisfactorily identified, although there is
some similarity to the mannegishi
creature that is native to the mythology of the Cree Indians of eastern
Canada. See also: mannegishi.
