Class B First-hand BFRO #31594

Memory told of a possible sighting of two juveniles tree climbing at sundown near Farmville

30 August 1980 dusk Farmville, Amelia County, Virginia 2 witnesses

Account

The witness waited in a parked car in an open farm field at dusk while a companion hunted nearby. After the companion returned uneasy to the car, both looked toward a large oak tree ahead. The witness saw two small dark hair-covered figures moving and climbing around the tree; one came down, moved behind the trunk, then peered out and stood upright looking toward the car. Frightened, the pair left immediately and drove home instead of staying overnight.
