A rather obscure Alien Encounter comes from 1968 and West Virginia (US). West Virginia is a well known ''spot'' for supposed Alien Encounters and strange Cryptids. In the woods surrounding the far flung Town of Fairmont, A Hunter had an unusual ''contact'' with an Alien Entity – known known as ''Veggieman''. According to The Hunters Testimony, He was out in the woods when He heard what He identified as a ''humming noise''. The Hunter claimed to not have seen any unusual lights or transportation devices. Moving towards the noise, The Hunter encountered a ''7-foot tall, Humanoid-type Being''. Best described as a ''giant walking Celery stalk'', The Creature had ''shining yellow eyes'' and was speaking in a ''high-pitched, gibbery tone''. Upon ''seeing The Hunter'', The Creature stopped it's ''high pitch'' sound. The Hunter stated He began to ''hear a voice in His Head''. The voice was ''low and not threatening''. The Being (of whom The Hunter felt was communicating with Him telepathically), said He ''Meant No Harm'' and was ''injured''. The Hunter stated that He would help. The Creature again told The Hunter ''Not To Fear'', and reached forward with wait appeared to be it's ''hand''. The Hunter ''felt several pricks on His skin''. Within minutes, The Being let go. The Hunter noted that He had two small pricks on His arm, with a very small amount of blood still draining. The Creature began to ''glow slightly'' and ''acted as if whatever had happened, had helped''. The Creature turned and moved very rapidly back into the woods and out of sight. The awe struck Hunter stated He heard the familiar ''humming noise'' again. Then, it stopped. Since this ''encounter'' in 1968, there have been no further reports of ''Veggieman''.
