"He said he saw a 10-foot-tall man, who looked very skinny bordering on malnourished with pale skin. He couldn’t completely see his face."
The following account was forwarded to me:
"My father grew up in Costa Rica, where it’s mostly farms and agriculture. The houses are very far apart except for a few villages. This event would’ve taken place sometime in the mid to late 1980s, and as has been explained to me by both my parents, around this time there weren’t any phone lines, just streetlights and that’s about it.
My father started working around the age of 9. He would go to villages or centers to sell or deliver vegetables as, my grandparents grew lettuce, tomatoes, and more. He would very often stay out late as, as he was required to deliver vegetables to several restaurants.
One night as he was heading back, a herd of goats was obstructing the road. He used a little carriage like the ones ice cream vendors tend to use in Hispanic countries, so he couldn’t just scoot by as his carriage was being blocked as well. Then from behind him, he heard a voice state, "Cuanto por una lechuga muchacho?” This translates to “How much for lettuce young man?” When my father turned around, he said he saw a 10-foot-tall man, who looked very skinny bordering on malnourished with pale skin. He couldn’t completely see his face. However, he stated that from the little he could see his face was very sunken. The man was wearing overalls with a flannel shirt, a bandana on his neck, and a straw hat. I know the description sounds very stereotypical however, again, this does take place in the deep county, like an hour away from any city or town.
According to my father, the straw hat cast a shadow thus he couldn’t see the man’s eyes, however he could see his sunken cheeks and crooked teeth when he talked. My father was weirded out but due to how young he was (in his early teens), he just assumed it was a very tall man, instead of something paranormal or someone he should be afraid of. Thus my father said the price, the man paid, and my father handed him a head of lettuce which according to him, the man was able to hold with one hand comfortably. As the man walked away with the lettuce, according to my father, the man whistled and the goats followed the man. My father then just headed home.
As said before this took place decades ago, and the area this took place was very isolated with no houses nearby. To explain the area better, a lot of Oil Palm trees are grown there thus there are areas where you won’t see a house for a few miles. As for how he knew he was 10 feet, it was just a guess however he stated he was as tall as the ceiling of the house we were in when he told the story, and the ceiling was pretty high, at least 10 feet is my guess."
