‘We were watching the stars on December 21 of 2012 just past midnight when we both saw a woman step out of the woods. The area where we were was basically a large aspen tree of nine trees grown together surrounded by woods. Beautiful place. She had a long silver, purple and green gown and looong [sic] hair with seven stars in it. She seemed to be made of light with what might have been a crown on it. She walked from the woods and paused at the tree, looking right at us before walking INTO the tree. Then it was as though the shadows began to close in and something larger descended from the tree – like a big spider. Needless to say we did NOT stick around. We left in a hurry. After that my friend who also saw it had some terrible spree of bad luck which ended when he later returned to the place with a gift and an apology.’ ‘It reminded me of the old tales of Cuchulain for some reason.’
