My name is Gary Hadfield Sr. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1965.

I spent first 13 years of my life in Pittsburgh and moved to Massachusetts.

And on and off I've lived back and forth between the two.

My first sighting was in 1969 when I was about three years old going on four.

I remember it vividly because it was around a time my little sister was born.

My family all lived close together in an area called Bex Run right outside of Pittsburgh.

My grandparents lived up the street bus.

When my mother went to the hospital, my father brought me up to my grandparents house to stay while he was with my mother.

My grandmother used to tell us all the time that if Jens weren't good, the booger man would get you.

She never told us what the booger man looked like though.

So one night while I was over my grandmother's house, I asked her if I could go get some cookies in the kitchen and she said, go ahead.

Now there was nothing but woods behind their house.

So a lot of times they wouldn't even shut their curtains to their kitchen window.

As I went out into the kitchen to get the cookies, I looked at the window and I saw this large,

Sasquatch type creature looking in the window.

His head was near the top of the window.

It was very broad shoulders, hairy.

His eyes were kind of yellowish.

And he was just looking at this big, like, look like a smile on his face.

I was so scared of turning around and ran into the living room screaming on my grandmother.

Grandma Grandma, there's a big monkey looking at me.

My grandmother said, you fool, that's the booger man.
