Account
When the witness was about 10 or 11, they were riding a horse through a meadow bordering wilderness near Missoula in summer. The horse stopped and the witness saw a tall figure peeking from behind a tree about 10 feet away. The figure stood silently watching, and the witness turned the horse around and rode home.
