Account
Two young sisters sleeping in an old-style tent hear very heavy footsteps approach and feel something pushing, scratching and sniffing at the tent walls. A finger-like form pokes through the front opening, and one sister strikes it with a flashlight. It withdraws and heavy steps crash away through the field and tree line.
