Ginseng hunters have daytime sighting near Blaine.
Account
A couple went ginseng hunting in woods behind their home on a summer morning. The husband heard brush movement across a ditch and then saw a hair-covered figure from the chest up watching them from 20 to 30 feet away. After watching for several minutes, the couple slowly left uphill while the figure continued to observe, and the wife also saw it as they left.
