Multiple incidents near rural home outside Adel

15 August 2016 at night, moonlit Adel, Cook County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

The witness sat alone on the back patio at night facing the woods and spoke aloud. Three figures approached from different directions with audible walking and breaking limbs. The witness shone a flashlight on the closest one, seeing a large squatting outline with widely spaced bright green eyeshine, then went inside and still heard movement an hour later.
