On the road leading to the Nazare salt mines an employee of the mines was driving his truck with his wife, three children and his brother in law. This stretch of road was considered a good road, in a reasonable state of conservation, but the truck reportedly catapulted mysteriously killing four of its occupants, leaving only two young girls alive to tell what happened. When the two girls had recouped they told an amazing story. According to the girls everything was going well and as they approached the stretch of road near the salt mines the driver and the passengers saw what they children curiously later described as "three dolls the height of young children" jumping up and down with open arms in the middle of the road as if desperately wanting a lift. The driver attempted to avoid the strange trio but the creatures ran in the same direction, seemingly at the same speed of the truck, blocking its passage. In a desperate act the driver of the truck attempted to coast along the embankment but the truck turned over trapping most of the victims inside. The girls do not remember seeing the strange creatures again.
