Goblin in the Woods
by Lori
When I was in my teens in about 1980, I went camping with a large group in the California Redwoods. A few of us built a hut out of fallen logs to sleep in. I woke up in the middle of the night. I had the sensation that I was being watched. So I lay there with my eyes open and stared through the hole of the hut.
I saw a green, translucent face peek at me. At first I didn't believe what I was seeing. He kept peeking around the corner, like peekaboo. It wasn't human, and its eyes were evil. Then he just stared and I was so scared I closed my eyes. Because it was looking right at me and it saw that I saw and it smiled. Then when I looked again it was gone.
It looked just like those goblins in Lord of the Rings, only smaller -- I'd say about 3 or 4 feet. It was not solid. It was green translucent, if that makes any sense. Like a dark green outline, but I could see features. I have never forgotten those eyes. Malice is the best way I can describe it.
