Episode notes
Childhood Cabin Encounter
- A woman picking berries at her family's hunting cabin saw grass rush and a small man emerge from the woods.
- He wore homemade buckskin clothing, had rust-colored bowl-cut hair, and carried a mid-thigh knife on a silver belt.
Detailed Physical Description
- The witness described the figure as three to three-and-a-half feet tall with round, youthful features but an older appearance.
- She noted sharply pointed small baby-like teeth and detailed homemade seams on his vest, pants, and boots.
Ambiguous Human-Like Framing
- Jack Wagner frames the encounter as uncanny: it looked like a child but was an adult-sized small man with odd teeth.
- That framing pushes listeners to question whether folklore categories (childlike vs. otherworldly) apply cleanly to the sighting.
