The witness took a dog outside in the early morning and the dog became frightened and pulled back to the house, then stared at the door. The next morning the witness searched the snowy backyard and found many unusual tracks similar to ones seen the prior year. The witness recorded the tracks with video and photos before asking someone else to examine them.
