LOCATION:   Essex County, Massachuesetts
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I am retelling this experience, as it did not happen to me, but it was told to me by multiple people.  As group of teenagers apparently were hanging out at night at the end of a dirt road with a metal gate.  I am not sure exactly how many people saw it, but one girl explained that she had sensed being watched all night and saw a dark, shifty figure many times before she she pointed at the trail, and said "What the hell is that"  What was described to me was a large dark, shifty figure about 7-8 feet tall.  Shifty, to me describes quick back and forth movements, however, when I asked if the figure could have been hairy, they said yes, this could have accounted for its shiftiness.  They did not see its face.  As they watched for just a minute, they all became disturbed, and when they began to go back to the car, the creature began to race forward at a fast pace, again it appeared to shift from one place to the next.  They described  the way in which it came at them, kind of crouched down, with long arms reaching
forwards one after the other.
