After witnesses claimed to have seen an elliptical object head over towards the copse at Cradle Hill, three or four witnesses decided to walk up and see if the object was at ground level. As they drew close to the copse their attention was drawn to rustling noises in the trees. They stopped to listen. The noise was apparently moving towards them. Whatever it was seemed to be getting closer, and the party became frightened at this point and walked steadily back down the hill. One of them, Stephen Hall, glanced around and saw an entity " about three-feet tall, apparently hunched or bent over like an ape or monkey" it lurched over the small path behind the group. The entity, silhouetted by the early light of daybreak, had climbed within seconds over a nearby stile into the adjoining field and into the early morning mist.
