Incident #992843
East Haven, Caledonia Cty, Vermont
Oct 1976
Account
Ken Parenteau's mother was reading in the woods near an apple orchard when she felt she was being watched, looked up and saw a tall creature on two legs walking fast towards her but slightly to one side. It came within 25 feet, totally disregarding her. Very quiet and graceful, as if gliding. Very broad shoulders, no neck, long muscular arms, humanlike eyes. Height estimate 8 to 11 feet. She reported to police. Two days later another occurance, on the other side of the mountain in Kirby, was reported to police and written up in the local paper. Sawyers Mountain, off Rte 114. Son says 'in the woods', but also 'grassy mountain side'.
