I am very much aware of what the natives call the “little people.” I have researched it but I have never spoken with an eyewitness who actually saw one.
A listener writes “Now, I’ve searched the Internet high and low over the years and haven’t found much of anything that seems credible regarding juvenile, Pygmy or dwarf humanoid sasquatch type creatures. I told my family and a few close friends about what I had seen, and the subsequent hearsay followed. Apparently, other sightings in the area had happened, but it was always a case of a neighbor’s cousin’s friend who had seen one,etc…
I almost hit *something* with my car years ago as a teenager. It was right after dark in the evening, not quite pitch black yet, and I was only about a mile and a half down the one-lane rural road from my parents’ house. Deer, rabbits and the like popping out of the tall grass alongside the narrow gravel road are the norm, so I was already watching for wildlife at the edge. That’s when I saw what I can only describe as a tiny sasquatch.
As I drove down a straightaway, I noticed the tall grass parting to my right and a dark creature emerge into the road. I hit my brakes, slowing down for the raccoon or coyote that inevitably follows, but the sight of this little guy made my jaw drop.It was no more than 3 and a half feet tall, covered in dark hair, and it had an smooth gait like a human. I would have initially thought it was a escaped chimpanzee or a bonobo if it had not had such similar proportions to a human, with a very round head. It looked very much like a human little person, but with a hairy body, and face. It had a short, squat body and it was difficult to tell if it was young, or fully grown and just small.
I obviously startled it as it was on its way. It froze for a split second, looking at my vehicle then dashed across the road with a burst of energy into the weeds on the opposite side. The whole sighting lasted only a few seconds, but is burned into my memory.
I came to a stop and immediately turned around and went back home, abruptly ending my night out with friends. I was just too shaken up. I am used to seeing fleeting wildlife on a regular basis, sometimes not knowing fully what it is. Was that an opossum or a nutria? Was that a hog or a javelina i the road? That’s no problem. This was was clear as day, and I had never seen something like that before in my life! I am wondering if any of your listeners have ever seen a creature matching a similar description? Have you come across any accounts of a “mini-squatch”? I’m not sure if this would even be in the same category as a sasquatch or big(little?)foot sighting, but I’ve never come across anything similar.”
