Incident #992784
Greensboro, Greene Cty, Pennsylvania
1969
Account
Then 15, Michael Hardy and other boys were skinny dipping in the community pool after hours and fled when the caretaker turned up, running into a strip of woods beside the Mongahela River. Michael, in the lead and looking back, ran into something and fell. Looked up to see a manlike figure, 8 feet tall, covered with long hair, staring at him. Got up and ran. There was an unforgettable smell.
