Large man-like figure seen in the trees by a Marine training at Fort A. P. Hill

15 November 2008 between 2 and 4 a.m. Fort A.P. Hill VA, Caroline County, Virginia 3 witnesses

Account

Three service members were on overnight guard duty at a wooded bivouac during a 2008 training exercise. The main witness looked up from a seated position and saw a large heavily built human-like figure silhouetted in the trees above about 30 feet away, holding trees with long outstretched arms. He blinked to check his vision, watched it move silently between trees, then it vanished. In the morning the two companions posted apart independently said they had seen something in the trees, and the three concluded they had seen the same figure circling their position.
