Account
The witness and a young relative were playing near water when they noticed a tall, black-haired, human-like figure squatting at the water's edge, apparently splashing. They shouted to it several times without response, after which it stood up and watched them. The pair fled to shore, looked back to see it still watching, then kept running.
