Boy sneaks up on huge "man" at edge of playground at night
Account
On a windy night in fall 1976, a teenager out walking reached a school track and noticed a very tall, naked, hair-covered figure standing near a baseball backstop. The witness hid behind a transformer and watched the still figure sway slightly for a few minutes before slipping away unseen. A check the next morning found no clear tracks.
