Account
Three children exploring deep woods came to a wide stream and saw two hair-covered figures crouched on the opposite bank drinking. The figures stared at the children for about 30 seconds, then one made a hand motion and both turned and ran into the woods. The children ran the opposite way until out of the woods.
