Incident #992331
Tinmouth, Rutland Cty, Vermont
Mar 1983
Account
Travelling in an area of scattered farms, middle-aged couple saw on a low ridge a giant 'man' walking swiftly and agilely up a rocky ridge. It stopped for several minutes, looking down to the road toward them, then raised its giant arma above its head, waved them several times, turned and continued along the ridge with the agility of a gymnast, then disappeared over the top. Was much taller than a man.
