DATE:    08/01/67
 

TIME:     4:45 pm
 

LOCATION:   Massachusetts, Worcester County
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    Some creature ? I was at my brothers house in XXXX, at a family visit. My brother had his septic tank dug up at the time ? I guess he must have been replacing it or putting in a new system? anyway we couldn't use the bathroom in his house. My niece had to urinate and my sister told me to walk her out to the woods behind the stone wall. When we got within about 5 feet of the stone wall something rose up from behind the bush on the other side of the stone wall. It looked at us and appeared to be as startled as we were. Well as startled as I was! My niece didn't stay long enough to know if the thing ran away or ran to get her?! As soon as XXXX saw the thing she SCREAMED and threw the toilet paper in the air and ran away! I on the other hand had seen the creature leap to our right along the wall, and behind more bushes. At that point I also turned and ran back to the house. Where of course the adults of the family thought we were crazy and would not go to check it out. I was 11 yrs XXXX was 6. We both had nightmares about that encounter for many years.
 

Activities of Witness:   We were walking past the septic hole into the woods behind the house. My niece had to urinate so I walked with her because she was scared to go alone.
 

Description of Creature:  It was Big! Much larger than a man, maybe 6.5 to 7 ft tall and 350 to 400 lbs Fur / Hair all over its body, Medium to dark Brown with gray or lighter brown on chest / abdomen, face ? not human but not like any animal I've ever seen.
 

Other Notes:    My father heard something outside our mobile home on night and he went to investigate, my mother got scared and yelled to him to come back in the house and what ever it was my dad said went crashing threw the woods snapping large limbs as it ran. No one saw this being. This was just down the road from my brothers house and was a few weeks after the encounter I experienced.
