Account

About a decade before reporting, the witness was riding a horse alone on a dirt road near dusk when the horse stopped and stared into the woods. The witness then saw a tall white upright creature approach quickly and turn sideways before disappearing silently behind small pines. The witness did not enter the woods to investigate and left the scene quickly.
