2 Friends with a flashlight watch a BF late at night
Account
The witness and a friend were watching TV late at night when their pet goose became agitated and they heard branches breaking outside. They took flashlights outside and watched an ape-like animal crouched at the woods edge across the street for about 10 minutes, noting its long hair, eye color, and behavior in the lights. When they went inside briefly to get car keys for headlights, the animal had disappeared.
