Initial data
Driving on an isolated dirt road, the husband and wife had problems with the truck due to an overheated radiator. Taking a flashlight, the husband went outside to inspect the damage.
He was soon surprised to see his wife staring wide-eyed, open-mouthed, towards the driver's side window. She was as pale as a ghost. He asked his wife what was wrong, but she kept looking.
As he walked back to the driver's door, he looked out at the moonlit meadow. He saw a line of trees and what looked like an old brick wall, and standing in front of the wall was a small translucent white stocky humanoid body, about three feet (0.9 m) tall, with tiny round eyes that looked as black as night from a distance.
The figure slowly took a step or two toward the pair, placing its short, stubby arms at its side. In a state of panic, the husband screamed and lost the batteries of his flashlight, at the same time he looked back at the moonlit field just in time to see a small figure jump up the wall, out of sight. He quickly poured water into the radiator and turned on the truck's ignition, while his wife slammed the hood shut. They looked over the wall again and saw the small white head of the ghostly creature peeking over it. They watched in horror as the creature's tiny hands gripped the top of the wall and rose above it, landing on its feet and running toward them.
At this point, the truck's engine stopped several times before starting. As they drove away, the small white humanoid was only a few feet from the edge of the road - thankfully, the edge of the other side of the road, but close enough that he could see the dark empty holes where his eyes should have been, his mouth open in a wide grin, revealing a row of small pointed teeth. His skin seemed to roll as he ran towards the truck.
As they were walking along the road, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw a figure that was now quite a bit back, turning away from them and walking along the side of the road in the opposite direction. They drove for about 20 minutes before stopping again.

Driving through an isolated dirt road a husband and wife experienced trouble with their truck as the radiator apparently overheated. Grabbing a flashlight, the husband stepped outside to inspect the damage. Soon he was surprised to see his wife staring wide eyed, mouth agape, out at the direction of the driver’s side window. She was white as a ghost. He asked his wife what was wrong, but she just kept staring. Walking back to the driver’s door he looked towards the moonlit meadow. He saw a line of trees and what appeared to be an old brick wall and standing in front of the wall a small translucent white stocky humanoid form, about 3 ft tall, with tiny round eyes that appeared to be black as the night from the distance. The figure slowly took a step or two towards the couple, its short stubby arms on its side. In a panic state the husband screamed and lost the batteries of his flashlight, at the same time he looked over the moonlit field again just in time to see the short figure scamper around the side of the wall, out of view. He quickly poured some water into the radiator and switched on the truck’s ignition, as his wife slammed the hood shut. They stared over the wall again and saw the small, white head of the ghostly entity peering over the top of it. Terrified, they watched the entity’s tiny hands grip the top of the wall and hoist himself clean over, landing on its feet it then began running towards them. At this point the engine of the truck stalled several times before starting. As they drove away the small white humanoid was only a few feet from the edge of the road—the edge of the other side of the road, thankfully, but close enough that he could see dark empty holes where the eyes would have been, its mouth open in a wide leering grin, revealing a row of small pointed teeth. Its skin seemed to be rolling as it ran towards the truck. As they headed down the road he looked at his rear view mirror and saw the figure, quite a bit back now, turning away from them, walking alongside of the road in the opposite direction. They drove on for about 20 minutes before stopping again.
