Account
The witness describes waking in the middle of the night in a newly placed rural home and seeing a large solid-black figure filling the bedroom window. The figure remained motionless for several minutes before turning sideways and leaving the window in a single step, with faint steps heard around the house. The witness was a young child at the time and only later linked what was seen to similar reports.
