Woman recalls childhood sighting near Warfield witnessed in Martin County, Kentucky

Open Map

When I saw this creature, I was told not to tell anybody or they would think I was crazy!! In 1950 when I was 12 years old, I lived in a little hamlet called Beauty located in eastern Kentucky, located along the border of the Tug River. We children played in the mountains almost all summer long. We had heard of a rock cliff back up on the hill that had a cave in it and we decided to go looking for this cliff with the cave. Being kids, we didn't keep track of how far we climbed or what ridges we went on, but finally we reached this cliff. We were standing at the base looking up through the shadows of the trees when I noticed there was someone standing up on the rock (about 10 feet up) looking back at us. He was, I judge about 6 feet tall. Muscular. His arms were longer than a humans.His legs about like a human. He had hair much like a chimps hair grows on its arms and legs. NOT the fuzzy hair like a bear. His chest seemed to be pretty hairless. Very hairy around the genital area...
