Account
Six-year-old girl and grandmother on porch at back of house, with small stream 60 to 80 feet away and a hill behind it. Girl saw "a person with hair on it", "brown and bigger that grandpa" walk across an opening in the trees about 30 feet up the hill, long strides, arms swinging, hands open palms down. She said "what is that?" but grandmother turned around too late to see it.
