A family was harvesting sago in the Blackwater Lakes. The father sent the family home and remained by himself. Suddenly, he saw this creature approaching. It was so powerful that it caught one of his pigs and swallowed it whole. The creature had only one hand and one leg. The man was rendered unconscious by the sight of the creature. People from the village came to rescue him and he slowly recovered." -Markus Connie
