My then best friend and I were walking through fields near to where we lived. We were both 13 years old. We'd just been wandering around doing nothing very much (it was summer school holidays). Suddenly we saw a little "man", about 18 inches tall sort of dressed in leaves. He looked like a small human. His skin was brown but not hairy and he was standing upright. He looked at us for a few seconds, and we of course at him. We were about 10 feet away from him, so quite near. Then he started to run towards the nearest tree that had an entrance/hollow at the bottom and he disappeared. Once we'd composed ourselves, we compared notes as to what we'd seen and we both agreed. We were both country girls, so very used to seeing all sorts of creatures. We'd never seen anything like this before, nor since.
