A resident's early evening sighting next to his home near New Market
Account
The witness was home alone in the evening watching television when a tall dark figure blocked a small window and then walked around to the back door area. He remained still on the couch and watched it look toward the woods, at the ground, and down at him through plastic-covered windows before it left. He then got a firearm and checked outside but found nothing. The next morning a large three-toed footprint was found in a dusty spot beside the trailer.
