Good post... as I was reading the end the dog heard someone outside and jumped up barking... nearly scared me half to death.
I always love a good ghost story.
Anyway, now for the not so fun part, let me attempt to answer the remaining 3 questions:
1. How did Bill and Jim both guess their heights at 8 feet independently?
They were at a similar height, weren't they?
Or they may have worn platform shoes or something like that as part of their ritual.
You know, druid cults are known to be active in Germany... and wear white robes.... and some of those guys can be pretty tall...
2. How did they get up into the trees without climbing up them? The were standing on the path one instant, and the next instant, they were in the trees.
Were you sure they were the same people/things?
Couldn't they have been similar people/things that you just hadn't noticed, or that just put their robe on?
3. They never came down from the trees, they just faded away as the day got brighter.
I guess they waited until the light was bright enough to disrobe without being noticed climbing down.
Okay... so maybe some of the answers sound as ludicrous as stating that they were ghosts... but who knows... just food for thought....
