Class A First-hand BFRO #33545

3AM Encounter next to Lauritzen Botanical Gardens, prior incidents mentioned

2005–2011 around 3 a.m. Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska 1 witness

Account

In summer 2005 the witness drove back from a relative's house late at night and pulled into the mother's driveway. The headlights illuminated a large hairy figure standing partly behind a dumpster at the bottom of the driveway, which looked toward the witness without moving. The witness froze, tried to call inside, then left and slept in the car up the street until morning.
