Message: In 1992 I had a very strange encounter in the woods near my home.

What I saw at first was a humanoid person sitting in a tree, but it looked wrong because it appeared to have only one long leg.

My presence startled the creature and it moved with such speed I didn't see where it had gone but was left looking at a male human being who was standing by the tree.

When I looked at him directly the man suddenly disappeared.

He had dark medium length hair and a brilliant white shirt and was about 5ft tall,

with his arms down.

As I walked on I saw him 5 -6 times along the path at varying distances at either side and found I could control the image by looking at it only with peripheral vision.

I saw another shape behind me of a 7-8ft tall dark, grey, vaguely, human shape with branches from the top of it's head, but no face.

There was some missing time, and next thing, (although in the same place), I was looking into the large black eye of a being who was very old.

I sensed great age about the being as well as coldness or a lack of emotion.

I can't remember anything visual but the eye. I realised it was real and gasped inwards and seemed to recover, and I felt indignant.

Then I turned my back on it and continued on my way.

I was now walking on a path that I didn't recognise when I saw the exit to the woods and turned around when I reached it.

As I looked, there was a wave or ripple of green coming very fast towards me, then a sudden wind as something passed through the treetops beside me.

I had a euphoric sense of love, and of the oneness of the sap of the trees and blood in my veins and all life.
I did not attempt to speak at all during the encounter. The being or beings were breathing air and I saw no craft and I believe them to be terrestrial.

When I reached my destination I discovered that I had taken over 3 hours to complete what should have been a mere 15 minute walk!

Footnote to this interesting account:
The site named above is an area of ancient woodland and an ajoining meadow.
The woodland contains an ancient earthwork which has been dated to the late Neolithic.
There are possible sarcen stones buried in the ground on the site.
It is on a direct line with Woodhenge, next to Stonehenge, whilst also being a part of other sacred landscape alignments.
