Child sees a large, dark face staring at him from the bushes.
Account
The witness was sitting at the edge of a creek swimming hole with a young relative while companions played in the water. The witness stared at a bush across the water and then discerned a large dark face watching from between branches, with very large hands also visible. After a short time the witness became terrified, grabbed the relative and fled screaming, followed by the others. Only the witness reported seeing the face.
