Paranormal encounter in Idaho
Account
Hiking down a narrow boulder ridge in daylight with pack and poles, the witness blacked out briefly then continued. About two hundred yards above his van he watched a very tall lanky head-to-toe black figure march to the van, stop, face him and raise hands like holding a telescope, then walk around a curve, reappear staring again, and vanish. No vehicle was found downstream.
