Sometimes, however, someone encounters something that bucks that trend.

Back on August 18th, a woman in Indiana County, Pennsylvania had been carrying out chores on a farm when she spotted a small hominid creature crouched down next to the treeline.

As she watched, she noticed that there was a second such creature sitting next to the first.

She watched as the two figures started to jump and move around, as though playing.

When she sneezed, they both stopped and looked straight at her, prompting her to flee to the house.Oddly enough, the very next day, another witness described an encounter with a near-identical creature in Westmoreland County.

This time, it had been at the side of a rural road as the witness drove by.

She described it as being 5ft in height, with a dome-shaped head and dark grey hair. Its movement was said to be unnatural - almost mechanical - especially when it turned around.

The encounter only lasted a few seconds, so she only got a brief glimpse of it.

One possibility is that these animals were some sort of monkeys that had escaped from a local zoo or private collector, while another is they were some genuinely unknown species of Bigfoot-like creature.

The truth of the matter remains, for now at least, unknown.
