Account

Around 2:30 AM on March 22, 2016, the witness watched from a kitchen window as an upright figure walked through the backyard. The figure was described as large, taller than the swing set and wider than the witness, with eye shine. The witness searched for prints afterward but found none because the ground was frozen hard.
