Account

When the witness was a child, they were walking in the woods with two other children when they noticed a brown conical-shaped head with deep-set eyes watching them from behind a tree uphill about 100-120 feet away. The shape remained motionless while they watched it for about a minute. The younger companion became upset and the children ran from the area. The witness remains uncertain what was seen.
