Witness recounts sighting in yard near Edmonton

October 2009 2am Edmonton, Metcalfe County, Kentucky 1 witness

Account

The witness said he went outside at night with a flashlight and a handgun after suspecting someone was stealing gas from his truck. About 20 yards away he noticed an unusual bush-like shape that stood up to about 8 feet tall, showing a pale ring around its face and reddish-brown body hair, with red eye reflection. After holding gazes briefly, the figure turned and walked out of the yard past an empty house and up the street out of sight.
