Former Special Forces soldier has late night sighting through window not far from Colorado River
Account
After midnight the witness and a relative were awakened by barking dogs and noticed a rank odor in the house. When the witness went to get water he saw a large hairy head staring in through the kitchen window for about 30 seconds. He retreated to load a rifle while both heard a loud howling from the yard, but the figure was gone when he went outside with lights on.
