The blog Phantoms and Monsters received a letter from a witness yesterday describing a creature that looked like a small man a little under 3 foot in height with thick dark brown hair all over its body watching them from a tree. Before they could take out the cellphone to take a picture, the creature became alarmed and quickly jumped to an adjacent tree, scampered down and ran upright at a remarkable speed. "I was amazed how fast it ran - it disappeared within a few seconds," wrote Amy, the witness.

Here's the letter they received on November 14th:

I received the following email on the evening of November 14th:

Hello sir - I read the report about the unknown flying creature near Factoryville, PA. I live about 25 miles southeast of that location near Mt. Cobb, PA.

Last week I saw something I cannot explain. It was Thursday November 10th around 10 am when I was in my backyard raking leaves. There is a patch of woods at the back of our property. My 7-year-old son was playing nearby when he called out to me saying there was a "monkey in the trees". I looked in the direction he was pointing and noticed what looked like a small hairy man sitting in a maple tree watching us.

I dropped my rake and walked over toward the tree. The heavy branch was about 10-12 above the ground. This creature was sitting on it with it's legs tucked up like a chimpanzee - but this was not a monkey or ape. It was proportioned like a small man a little under 3 foot in height with thick dark brown hair all over its body. It continued to sit there and quietly watch us. I turned to grab my cellphone which was in my jacket pocket so I could get a photo but it became alarmed and quickly jumped to an adjacent tree, scampered down and ran upright at a remarkable speed. I was amazed how fast it ran - it disappeared within a few seconds.

My son told me later that he had a similar sighting this past summer and was sure it was not the same creature. He said the previous creature was larger as he glimpsed it walking through the woods behind our neighbor's barn. I talked to my neighbors this weekend and neither have seen anything but admit that their pets have been alarmed at night and on one occasion last winter there was distant howling. They assumed it was a coyote or a dog.

These creatures seem benign in my opinion but I am curious as to what they are. We are setting out 2 deer trail cams - one at the edge of our woods and the other in back of the neighbor's barn.

Is there a possibility that these are young Bigfoot or another unknown primate. I have no evidence and have checked for footprints without luck. If I do obtain anything interesting I will contact you. Thanks for reading - I have signed up for the newsletter. Amy
