Two brothers are hiking in the woods near their home in Northumberland County, PA when one of the pair encounters a large, lanky pale 'being' that soon vanishes.
I received the following account:
"Sir - About three years ago, I had a strange encounter in the length of woods that borders my house in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania near Elysburg. It was winter and I was on one of my routine hikes with my brother. We would periodically stop and rest, listening to the sounds of the forest. We were climbing a steep hill and having a hell of a time with it. Our march was halted when I stepped in a pothole and when I finally dragged my foot out we decided to take a breather. That's when I saw it.
We were just standing there, making small talk, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure. I turned and saw a large, lanky creature watching us from atop a hill. The very instant my gaze fixed on it, it began to barrel down the hill at us. I tried to run or even alert my brother, but I couldn't move. I was paralyzed with fear.
I heard my brother ask, "What's the matter?" But I couldn't tell him because I didn't know. I didn't know what I was looking at. I was finally able to break my paralysis and was about to tell him what was happening and then it was gone. Just POOF! Like smoke in the wind. Needless to say, I hauled my butt out of there. If I was to describe the thing I would say that it was at least 6'6". It had a slim build and was completely nude. Its body was pale. I never caught sight of its face or any reproductive parts, but I have the feeling it was male.
Every time I look back on it and try to analyze what it might have been I always come up short. I can't come up with a believable or concrete explanation. I sometimes doubt I saw anything at all. Granted this is not the first strange experience I've had in those woods. The disembodied baby's cry comes to mind." C
NOTE: Was it a flesh & blood hominid, an apparition, or possibly a multidimensional being. Or maybe something completely different? A while ago, I received another interesting, but very brief, account from a reader in Pennsylvania. She states that she witnessed what looked like a feral human while in the vicinity of Tiadaghton State Forest in Lycoming County during the late 1970s. This being was described as only 4 feet tall with reddish hair all over the body, though sparse on the chest where she noticed what she thought were breasts. The facial features were human in all respects. This hominin stood for a few seconds, made no sound, turned to its left, took a step, and faded away as if it were walking through a wall of water. The email didn't go into much more detail but she did state that the area did have 'old ghost towns' in it. Lon
