Woman recalls childhood incident -- red eyes looking into window near Withlacoochee River

Summer 1993 about 9 or 10 p.m. Ocala, Marion County, Florida 1 witness

Account

In summer 1993, a five-year-old child went to the back bedroom of a raised mobile home to get toys from a chest. Upon sitting up, the child saw a pair of piercing red eyes in the middle of the bedroom window and stared before running to report it. The family suggested a neighboring dog, but the witness maintains the eyes were too high for a dog and too close to be an owl or perched animal.
