Account

While driving her grandson to his summer job at the scout camp, the witness saw a figure standing motionless in a cleared area under power lines. She observed its right side as it faced south, noting reddish-brown hair, a small head, and long arms, with its feet hidden by grass. She drove slowly past and later returned to confirm no stump was present.
