Account
Two young brothers playing at a family friend's cabin explored a small creek crossed by a log. The older boy saw a tall black figure standing partly behind a tree and watching them from twenty to thirty yards away. When the younger brother fell into the creek, the older boy ran back to the cabin for help.
