A woman has close sighting through living room window, very near the Zaleski State Forest
Account
On June 20, 2004 around 2 a.m., the witness was watching TV at home when she noticed a large dark shadow looking in through full-length windows facing the woods. The shape moved when she turned off the TV, and she remained in the recliner overnight. The next morning she found two very large hand-like prints on the glass that she judged to be non-human based on her fingerprint training.

Evidence & investigation
What the source says was found or done. Claimed evidence is listed as claimed; the Anomadex has not examined it.
Two large hand-like prints on window glass found the next morning, described as about 12 inches long with spread fingers.
Measurements: about 12 inches long
Two possible footprints in mud described as not from any known animal.
Remnant of cleaned handprint remained; a deputy sampled it and judged it not human, while a forensic expert found cleaning smudged it too much for conclusive evaluation.
Measurements: at a height of 8' 6" from ground level
Top of window where shadow was seen measures nine feet from ground.
Measurements: 9 feet from the ground
An investigator conducted a telephone interview and site visit, noting a handprint remnant also sampled by a deputy, window measurements, a smashed-weed travel trail, forced dog-run damage, and inconclusive camera monitoring.
