Man recalls childhood observation of rock throwing near Urichsville
Account
Two boys were hiking and exploring in remote hardwood forest in the afternoon when a rock struck a tree beside them. They looked uphill about 50 feet and saw a dark, roughly six-foot-tall figure watching them intently with a hunched, swaying posture. After pausing only a few seconds, both boys ran away and never returned to the spot.
