Initial data
Ten-year-old Marie was on the road in front of Labat's house (used as a warehouse and stable) when she saw a man the size of a child, but with a large protruding belly, standing in a second-floor window without glass. She told other children, and several of them led by Noel (12 years old) enter the house.
Noel saw a short man, about 3.5 feet (1 m) tall, wearing a red sweater with a black shoulder strap, being chased down the stairs to the pasture entrance.
At about 6: 30 p.m., 10-year-old Bertrand was near Labat's house when he noticed a 3.5-foot-tall (1 m) "boy" with a large belly in a red sweater crossed by a wide black strap. This man was running around the house.
Soon after, Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy saw a long gray animal they called a " dog " make a stunning leap from a second-floor window (about 12 feet (3.6 m) high) and reach the ground about 40 feet (12 m) from the house. It left tracks "like a calf's."
Then a small man, similar to those already described, came out of the shed and snapped the "dog"with his fingers. He tied a thick leash around her neck.
Then there were 3 more such figures, all the same, except that one did not have a large belly. They wore black hats with a peak at the back.
All four of them, together with the "dog", then ran very quickly along the road away from the village. Two trucks passed. As they approached, the little men and their dog jumped nimbly off the road and hid. They were out of sight. The next day, traces of "dog" paws were found.
Six days later, Labat's house mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground.

Summary: Marie, 10, was on the road opposite the Labat house (used as a store house and stable) when she saw, at a glass less second floor window, a person the size of a child, but with a big protruding stomach. She told other children, and several of them, led by Noel, 12 entered the house. Noel saw a small person about 3.5 ft tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across it, which he chased down the stairs and out the door to the pasture. About 1830, Bertrand, 10, was near the Labat house when he noticed beside it a “boy” 3.5 ft tall, with a big belly, wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide black strap. This person ran around the house. Shortly afterwards, Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy, all saw a long gray animal, which they called a “dog”, make a prodigious jump out of the second floor window (about 12 ft high), reaching the ground about 40 ft from the house. It left footprints “like a calf’s.” Then a small person like those already described came out of the barn and called the “dog” to him with a snap of his fingers; he passed a thick leash around its neck. Then 3 more such figures appeared, all alike except that one lacked the large stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All four, with the “dog”, then began to run very rapidly on the road, away from the village. Two trucks passed; as these approached, the little men and their dog nimbly jumped off the road and hid themselves. They ran out of sight. The next day, the “dog’s” paw prints could be found. Six days later, the Labat house mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground.
