Account

The witness was alone at home at night when he noticed a large figure standing outside a window and appearing to peer in through sheer curtains. The figure stayed motionless and silent while the witness watched its bulk, stooped posture, one clenched hand, and eyes. After several minutes the witness went to get a rifle and upon returning the figure was gone. A search the next day found no evidence.
