Account
In the summer of 1983 six children split into two teams for a hide-and-seek war game on school grounds at night. Three hairy bipedal figures emerged from shadows by storage sheds, walked past one team and over or around a tall chain link fence. Moments later the teller confronted one at ten to twelve feet, saw hair and build, yelled and watched all three leap away across the field while glancing back.
