Hey guys, I have a report from yesterday from Mt.Tom in Holyoke Ma.about 10:30 a.m. I was walking
one of the trails about half way up the mtn. with my son when we stopped to take a breather and after about 30 seconds or so a rock came down on the trail about 15 ft. away from us, sure freaked me out as there was no one in sight all the while we had been looking, prior to that we had done a couple of knocks and my son tried a call with no response, so after a couple of minutes we continued down the trail, and after about an hour we turned backand as we approached the area of the rock throw, my son noticed a figure in the distanceas i picked up the image it was moving along a small ridge and as we watched it, it had jumped down and turned and was looking back thru at us, i was able to take 2 pictures which i will post of the image, which shows upper torso chest .arms, head, we froze ,not quite sure what to do, then started to proceed towards it as we came upon a opening to where we could get a real good chance to see it up close , it was gone, the original sighting was about fron 150ft away, or closer Guessing, went back this morning and there was no activity , i am planning on going before the snow in the a.m. tomorrow.i always thought they existed but NOW I KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE !!!!
