What they found, in the singular moment before they dropped the flashlight and ran in fright, was the Flatwoods Monster. The witnesses have described it as a 10-foot tall man-like figure with glowing eyes set in a round, red face framed by an ace of spades-resembling hood. The rest of its body was dark green, either by itself or from reflecting the surrounding leaves, and its overall shape dress-like. It had claw-like hands attached directly to its torso and an unsteady gliding form of motion.
