Nine year old playing hide and seek comes face to face with a small ape-like creature
Account
The witness, then nine years old, went outside at dusk during a hide-and-seek game to look for siblings in a pine grove behind the house. The witness followed glimpsed movement around the trees, then saw a small dark-faced figure with large eyes watching through a pine and moving to keep eye contact. A high-pitched noise sounded from the trees, the figure ran away, and the witness ran back to the house.
