Incident #992787
Lenox Dale, Berkshire Ct;y, Massachusetts
Jul 1989
Account
Mark Simon hiking near the top of October Mtn (1200 ft) at twilight, saw something moving in brush 100 yards ahead. Later viewed it in a clearing through 40-power binoculars. Very tall, massive, covered completely with reddish hair, pointed head, dark face, no neck, it turned towards him and seemed shockingly human. It was moving stones and small pieces of wood, its very long arm moving to its mouth as it ate something. It stacked the rocks on top of each other. He ran away, but looked back and saw it moving slowly back into the forest, apparently unaware of him.
