Cape Breton Island
1990
When I was a little girl, around 5 years old, I was playing outside with my brother we were roaming the woods just beyond the tree line in my backyard. I was walking behind my brother by about 10-20 feet, I looked to my right and saw a white almost cartoon looking hand waving from side to side at me. I tried yelling out to my brother to have a look at it but it was like I couldn't speak; no sound would come out.
I think about this so often, I wish there was a way to make my brain remember it more clearly. I do remember telling my parents I saw "mickey mouses" hand waving at me in the woods because to 5 year old me every cartoon was mickey mouse I guess. It had longer thinner hands in reality, but bright white.
