AUGUST 1965, FRAGOSA, SPAIN, JUAN DOMINGUEZ, ISABEL DOMINGUEZ:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Author of a series of books on the paranormal and other mysteries Iker Jimenez reportedly indicated about 2007 that in Fragosa, Spain, on August 1965, in the afternoon, brother and sister Juan and Isabel Dominguez were returning home with a load of peaches when they noticed what appeared to be a tall shadowy figure moving back and forth in front of a nearby garden wall.

Curious, they approached the figure and were horrified to see a tall translucent human-shaped figure that was now moving over a vegetable patch near the river. They could see that the entity had very long arms that moved in harmony with its body, the rest of the body was proportional and "gelatinous" in appearance. The creature was well above 2 meters in height.

When the giant turned and walked in the direction of the witnesses these dropped their bundles of peaches and fled in terror. During the whole encounter both witnesses heard a sound resembling that of a "rattler".

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Fragosa, Spain, on August 1965, in the afternoon, brother and sister Juan and Isabel Dominguez were returning home with a load of peaches when they noticed what appeared to be a tall shadowy figure moving back and forth in front of a nearby garden wall. Curious they approached the figure and were horrified to see a tall translucent human-shaped figure that was now moving over a vegetable patch near the river. They could see that the entity had very long arms that moved in harmony with its body, the rest of the body was proportional and "gelatinous" in appearance. The creature was well above 2 meters in height. When the giant turned and walked in the direction of the witnesses these dropped their bundles of peaches and fled in terror. During the whole encounter both witnesses heard a sound resembling that of a "rattler".

Albert Rosales indicates as source Iker Jimenez, "El Paraiso Maldito" (Cursed Paradise), translated by Albert S. Rosales.

Points to consider:

I am unable to locate a place called Fragosa in Spain. There is a Fragosa beach in Portugal.

The sparse information and various issue make me very cautious as of the credibility of the story.
