I find that before the terrible event occurred several people had seen a creature upon the moor which corresponds with this Baskerville demon, and which could not possibly be any animal known to science.
Eg komi fram á tað, áðrenn tann ræuliga hendingin kom fyri, at nógv fólk høvdu sæð eitt skepilsi upp á heiðini, sum svarar til hetta Baskerville skrímslið, og sum neyvan kundi vera eitt dýr kent fyri náttúruvísindunum.
