‘Walking home in woodland after building den with friends. [I] was nine at the time. Came around a tree and saw two small creatures two-feet high sitting on a stump. Appeared to be carrying small canes and dressed in brown cloaks. Watched them for short time they saw me then vanished.’ ‘Thin two-foot tall longish arms and legs pale faces.’ ‘Didn’t fit into description of ghosts or aliens no other phenomenon present.’ ‘Don’t know [but] place may influence mind.’
