REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: In the fall of 1971 a friend and I were walking in a area along a small stream, the stream ran east and west, we were walking in a westerly direction. The area is wetland/thick forrest. Prehaps 100 yards ahead we observed 4 creatures. They were right next to the stream. In fact, one was standing in the water. One was laying on the ground, one was in a sitting position, and the largest was standing with its back to us. All appeared to be extremely dark, prehaps black. At first we thought they were people, so we called out. The largest turned our way. We noticed the faces seemed lighter colored then the rest of the body. We were to far away to make out facial features. Their bodies were very stocky. The largest seemed to be about 8 foot tall, its arms seemed to go past it's knees. The creature stood upright and the knees didn't seem to be bent as it stood. As we approached a fit further we noticed they didn't seem to be human and decided to run south, back in the direction of route 80. We reported the incident to both our parents.
