Husband and wife see animal near garbage dump
Account
In late January 2003, the witness and his wife were driving through apple orchards at night spotlighting for deer and coyotes. They illuminated a hair-covered figure standing by an old refrigerator at a garbage dump about 75 to 100 yards away, noting reflected eyeshine and height estimated from the fridge. The figure turned and walked into the adjacent woods, and the couple left the area without investigating on foot.
