She has now gone public on her sighting and wants people to help her prove the existence of the mysterious creatures.
Charmaine, who is orginally from Monikie and now lives in Edinburgh, said she saw the 7ft, black beast with no neck and broad shoulders in Carmyllie in the early 1980s.
She told The Courier: “I was with the dog and we were coming down the path that leads to the track running past the bottom of the property and out to the farm road.
“Just before I got on to the track, the dog stopped suddenly and started to growl, whine and bare her teeth.
“I looked up to see a large black figure further along the track standing with its back to me.
“It was reaching up to a branch on a tree at the side of the track and was tall, of thick build with no neck and wide shoulders.
