A Pennsylvania State Park worker encounters a bizarre-looking, greyish-olive-colored skin, very thin humanoid one night while exploring a dilapidated cabin.
I received the following account:
"In 1999 I was working at Caledonia State Park in South Central Pennsylvania and got to know the back areas of it pretty well; the areas most tourists do not get to see. Approximately one mile from the park on a long all-dirt road was a large clearing in the woods which was cleared for powerlines and gas well use. Once you got to that spot you would have to walk down a long hill until you came to an old abandoned trail. If you followed this trial it would take you deep into the forest.
One day I followed it and found that it led to an old dilapidated cabin (not on the park cabin records) and it looked like it hadn't been used for many decades. Even though it was daylight I still got this creepy feeling like I shouldn't be there and worse, that something was watching every move I made.
I took the lead and we walked halfway when all of a sudden my light flashed on something on the right side of the path. Almost immediately I stopped and said, "Did you just see that" to which they responded, "See what?" As I panned the light back to the right side of the road I said, "THAT!" There standing by a tree was a creature only seen in sci-fi movies. It had a greyish olive-colored skin and was very thin in its extremities. The calves and forearm muscles were very large as well as the chest. The face was the strangest thing since it had the typical alien grey head shape but there was no mouth. It had a nose that was long and thin but not longer than its "chin." The eyes had a reddish gleam in the light but not the size of most reported aliens...very small even by human standards. I hate to make this reference for fear of questioning my sanity but my best description was like what the 'Goons' looked like in the Popeye cartoon. It leans oddly against the tree as if you were leaning on an armchair with only one arm. To make another TV show reference but like the 'Fonz' would lean on the jukebox on 'Happy Days' (minus the legs being crossed).
Immediately everyone wanted to leave but as we turned my flashlight went out. My friends told me to quit messing with them and turn the light back on to which I informed them that I wasn't messing with them and to keep moving now that I was at the back of the group. I frantically continued to beat on my flashlight trying to get it to work again. As soon as it came back on I immediately swiveled back around to shine it behind us. The creature had moved up significantly and now was on the left side. We hurried to the clearing and once we got back up the hill and to the main dirt road things got worse. Out of the woods we had just come through was this high-pitched blood-curdling screeching noise which, after it started, others started to 'answer' back from the other side of the clearing.
I had been in the woods all my life and had my degree from Penn State in wildlife management means I've heard a lot of noises in the wild, but have never heard that sound before. I know it wasn't any kind of owl or bobcat, bear, bird, or porcupine. You get the drift.
Months went by without incident, other than not being able to shake that "I'm watching you" feeling. I was to the point of feeling like I was being stalked. One night I went to get something from my truck when I looked into the woods and saw those reddish glowing eyes staring at me in the shadows. I immediately ran into the house and grabbed my biggest knife (I'm not a gun guy) to which my Dad asked me what I was doing. I told him I was tired of feeling 'stalked' and was going to face this thing. He told me he was coming with me (but all along I knew he never truly believed me or my encounter). When we got outside he nonchalantly asked, "Ok, where did you see this thing?" and I pointed to the spot to which he directed his flashlight. Much to his disbelief there it was and as soon as the light hit it tore off deep into the woods. My Dad, an ex-Marine who served proudly during Vietnam, yelled at me to get back into the house with fear...FEAR in his voice.
To this day it still creeps me out telling this encounter and my hands shake even while typing while recalling it all. I am now in my 30s with a wife and kids, and we live not far from the State Park. But even now, when I go outside at night, I still feel watched to the point that when I get a really strong feeling my wife won't let me leave the house without her.
Just as a side note, for the first 5 years of our relationship, she too would catch sight of this creature, but mostly as it was going into the shadows. As a further note, if anyone is questioning it, there were no drugs or alcohol or any other substance involved during this or any other encounter I have had." B
