Kingstone claimed that he and another guard came across a man dressed in a long grey coat, but as they drew closer, they realised it was not human. The figure was described as being brown and hairy with no discernible face. It lunged at the two men, prompting one of them to try and hit it with a torch, but the object passed straight through the apparition.
