Four girls playing hide and seek. Sandra Kapa saw a figure move behind a 7-foot pine tree. It was several inches taller than the tree. She lifted her eight-year-old sister on her shoulder so Christie could see it too. Other girls called them and they left. Sandra could not tell if the creature was watching them or not.
