Several teenagers were fishing along the banks of the Dnestrovskiy Gulf near the location of an ancient fortress; the night was lit by the bright moon light. Suddenly the boys noticed several humanoid figures walking on top of the walls of the fortress. Incredibly the figures appeared to be horned; additional details could not be seen in the dark. The frightened boys hid in the darkness, picked up their fishing gear and fled to their nearby homes. According to local legend these entities use to live underground, at times visiting the surface through carefully disguised tunnels. Hearsay has it that at one point in the distant past a UFO crashed in the region and the occupants of the object hid in the rumored underground passageways of the fortress. These horned humanoids reportedly are not seen during the daylight hours since they cannot tolerate bright sun light. There are other legends and a more prosaic hypothesis that deals with hiding surviving Romanian soldiers which hid in the fortress after WWII. The shape of their field caps reportedly resembled horns or tri-star in shape.
