Account
The witness and a relative were walking between ponds at night with lights when they spotted a tall human-like figure watching from behind a tree. After the witness whistled, the figure stepped into the road and took a few walking steps toward them, prompting both to flee back to camp. They later returned with tools to check the area but found no trace of the figure.
