Class A First-hand BFRO #9753

Animal peers into youngster's bedroom window

7 July 1986 around 9-9:30am Bradford, Jackson County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

The witness, then about 12, woke in a guest bedroom at the grandparents' farm and saw a large hairy figure watching through the window for under a minute. After slipping on a rug while trying to get up, the witness ran to the back of the house. From the back door the witness saw the figure running across a field toward a barn and losing sight behind it, while relatives in the house did not arrive in time to see it.
