Two men have encounter while fishing
Account
Two young companions were fishing in a park near dusk when one felt watched from the woods. They went to the foliage edge and shone a lantern up an incline while vegetation was lifted. The companion reported seeing two brownish-haired, human-like legs that began to walk, prompting both to flee immediately by car.
