Account
As a young boy in 1983, the guest slipped away from family at his grandmother's house near Dillingham to work on a tree fort. About seventy yards down a trail he looked up and saw a large shadow in tall willows that he first mistook for a relative. The figure gave a blood-curdling scream and he ran back to the house.
