Recollection of an afternoon sighting on Green Mountain
Account
As a child walking home from a relative's house, the witness saw a tall hairy figure standing in a roadside ditch watching him. He ran back to get his relative, and they returned together with a shotgun to find the figure still there watching. As they walked down toward it they lost sight of it, and it was gone when they reached the spot.
