Class B First-hand BFRO #43217

Memory of 3 hairy fingers sliding under the front door outside Nauvoo

July 1988 dark after 8:00pm Nauvoo, Walker County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

The witness was watching television in the living room at night while a relative worked outside. The unused front door began to move and its knob turned, and three long hairy fingers with long black nails slid under the gap at the bottom for several minutes. When the fingers withdrew the movement stopped, and the relative later said he had not touched the door.
