Account
The witness was tent camping and went to a shallow creek pool to bathe after sunset. In the fading twilight she noticed a dark crouched silhouette nearby with its hands in the water as if washing. She perceived a mental reassurance that neither would harm the other. When she reached for her glasses for a clearer look, the figure ran off into the bushes.
