This sketch is based on what Bill Bartlett said of the Dover Demon that he saw on April 21st, 1977. But the smaller image in the corner is the drawing Bartlett did himself. The description he wrote beside the picture can sort of be made out to “Skin texture of a shark. Skin color the color of some of the people in the sunday comics. Size about the size of a monkey, eyes glowed orange color.”

He signed the image and made sure to write: ‘‘I Bill Bartlett swear on a stack of Bible’s that I saw this creature.”

Bartlett was adamant about what he had witnessed and doesn’t agree with people that tried to debunk his sighting. He said “This definitely wasn’t [a fox or animal]. It was some kind of creature with long thin fingers. [The thing was] more human-like in its form than animal. I’ve always tried to guess what it was. I never had any idea. I wasn’t trying to be funny. People who know me know I didn’t make this up”.
