A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania woman is walking home from work late at night when she encounters a child-like humanoid with a potato sack or burlap bag over its head. Very strange!
"I and my wife live in a mid-sized city in a fairly populated area in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania just off a very busy main road. This happened around June or July of 2022. We mostly live around older people and college students, and rent is very cheap as it’s not the nicest neighborhood.
My wife’s job is a 5-minute walk from our apartment and she was getting home very late that night, around 1:30 am. She came in looking scared to death and eventually told me she saw the following:
She said there was a small humanoid running out from between ours’ and our neighbor's house. It was dressed like, and had the proportions of an approximately 4-year-old child, and wore a striped shirt and pants. She said he stopped (appeared to be a boy) and “looked” in her direction briefly, before running off between another house. The child appeared to have a potato sack or burlap sack over his head; it was possibly drawn on. She is a MAJOR vibes person but she has never said anything like this before, though she has excellent instincts. She didn’t get a sense it was evil, but she was terrified after.
If I bring up the child she gets freaked out and won’t talk about it. No small children live on our street, and there are regular gunshots/screaming/angry homeless guys that we are very accustomed to after 3 years of living here. In short, it’s not a place an approximately 4-year-old child would be out alone at 1:30 am. She also did not tell me what happened right away, she appeared scared but talked about work/unrelated things before telling me that. I think she thought I would judge her/tell her she was lying.
It never happened again, and I have never seen or felt anything. If anyone has any theories I’d love to know! It freaks me out to think about it, especially because that house he ran from is owned by a bachelor and has an enclosed, gated backyard. So I spoke to her again about it. She said that it was strange because the door to our next-door neighbor's backyard was closed, and it seemed to go through the door. She said it ran in an unusually playful manner and seemed scared only when it stopped to look at her. It actually ran to the opposite side of the same house, which I got wrong the first time. From her report, it did not run like a child but had a quick “playful” movement, sort of like a rabbit. It made no sound or movement to indicate distress, other than running/skipping(?) away quicker than a child would. She felt it was an internal sense that it was paranormal and that she saw something she wasn’t supposed to/should not continue.
If it has to have a face to be a humanoid I apologize, I wasn’t aware honestly, and was trying to learn about the story. This is Pittsburgh. No the bag covered the child’s entire head, but she did say that the burlap bag may have been drawn on. Like two little Xs over the eyes, but not a full face. She did not glimpse the skin color or cannot remember from shock. It didn’t speak or make any sound that she can remember, it just ran." SI
NOTE: Bizarre small humanoid and/or 'little people' sightings in the general Pittsburgh, PA region are frequently reported. I've read and heard a variety of accounts over the years. This account is just creepy, and seemingly in a more urbanized area than most. Lon
