An account in Middlesex County, Connecticut

Walking in woods about 50 yds off trail with my adult son. There was a stone wall about about 30 yds from me. I noticed a black figure behind this 2 ft. high wall. The animal was very black. I thought it was a bear at first. After 5 seconds it stood up and walked deeper into the woods. It looked to be around 5 ft tall. I never saw a face. It just got up with its back to me and walked away fast. It had a cone shaped head, no neck, a slim looking body, very black hair, swinging arm was very long, legs seemed shorter. It moved fast but it didn’t run. I yelled to my son who was about 20yds from my left. We tried to follow it. My son never had a visual but he could hear it crunching ahead of us. We looked for about 3 hrs trying to see it again but could not find anything.
