Account
As a 6-year-old with an older friend near the forest edge at dusk, the witness saw a tall figure that turned and left into the forest. The figure is recalled with pale hair around the face, very light eyes, and longer arm hair. The friend called it the white witch, frightening the witness, who went inside and did not discuss it further.
