Location. Near Prescott, Arizona
Date: October 1990 Time: late night
Driving through an isolated dirt road a husband and wife experienced trouble with
their truck as the radiator apparently overheated. Grabbing a flashlight, the
husband stepped outside to inspect the damage. Soon he was surprised to see his
wife staring wide eyed, mouth agape, out at the direction of the driver’s side
window. She was white as a ghost. He asked his wife what was wrong, but she just
kept staring. Walking back to the driver’s door he looked towards the moonlit
meadow. He saw a line of trees and what appeared to be an old brick wall and
standing in front of the wall a small translucent white stocky humanoid form, about
3 ft tall, with tiny round eyes that appeared to be black as the night from the
distance. The figure slowly took a step or two towards the couple, its short stubby
arms on its side. In a panic state the husband screamed and lost the batteries of his
flashlight, at the same time he looked over the moonlit field again just in time to see
the short figure scamper around the side of the wall, out of view. He quickly poured
some water into the radiator and switched on the truck’s ignition, as his wife
slammed the hood shut. They stared over the wall again and saw the small, white
head of the ghostly entity peering over the top of it. Terrified, they watched the
entity’s tiny hands grip the top of the wall and hoist himself clean over, landing on
its feet it then began running towards them. At this point the engine of the truck
stalled several times before starting. As they drove away the small white humanoid
was only a few feet from the edge of the road---the edge of the other side of the road,
thankfully, but close enough that he could see dark empty holes where the eyes
would have been, its mouth open in a wide leering grin, revealing a row of small
pointed teeth. Its skin seemed to be rolling as it ran towards the truck. As they
headed down the road he looked at his rear view mirror and saw the figure, quite a
bit back now, turning away from them, walking alongside of the road in the
opposite direction. They drove on for about 20 minutes before stopping again.
