while playing tag with several other children witness saw a white hairy creature.
Account
About 30 years ago in Columbus, the witness was playing tag with a group of children in a front yard at dusk when the other children fled frightened toward nearby adults. The witness then saw a white, hairy, slightly hunched figure standing and peeking around the corner of a duplex, with the top of its head level with the top of a window estimated at over seven feet. The figure moved slightly side to side before the witness backed away, and it was gone when checked shortly after, with no trace found the next morning.
