Account

During a family weekend at riverside cottages, a group of children playing outdoors screamed and pointed toward the dense woods. Adults who ran outside reported seeing a tall, dark-haired biped walking away toward the treeline, with an additional young witness seeing only its back as it entered the woods. An adult aimed a rifle but lowered it without firing, later saying he feared it might be a person.
