Class A First-hand BFRO #451

Young man has sighting near home

20 August 1993 around 11 PM ELKMONT, Limestone County, Alabama 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was looking after his girlfriend and her younger brother when the locked front door knob was jiggled. After leaving to call police from his parents’ house, he stepped outside with a flashlight and saw a tall off-white muscular human-shaped figure standing in the weedy field in moonlight. The figure vanished when he raised the light again, and he later found the weeds mashed down where it stood.
