The Pennsylvania Creature is a cryptozoological hominid sighted in 1972 and early-1973 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania by Earth sciences professor Jan Klement. It was 7 ft (~2.1 m) tall and pot-bellied. The professor was able to lure the creature using apples between late-August 1972 and mid-January 1973. It had short brown hair which was longer on the head, armpits, and groin. It had large eyes, human features and was mask-like in appearance. It had large muscles, flat buttocks, 13-inch-long feet, a 6-inch-long penis, and smelled like a damp dog. It appeared to feed on deer and small animals, and was very cautious around humans. The creature was found dead and buried in January of 1973. From July of 1973 to February of 1974, the county had over 50 reports of similar creatures. Most of the creatures were dark in appearance, however one was white, another tan, and another had a white mane. Three of the creatures were shot at, with one of them bleeding.
