Air National Guardsman describes being ushered out of the woods culminating in a nighttime sighting from his car near the Presque Isle Lighthouse
Account
The witness spent the evening relaxing near the harbor, waded in the lake, then walked back toward the car through a clearing. While walking, the witness heard twig snaps and sounds of trees being pushed that stayed parallel and created a feeling of being watched. Shortly after driving away, the witness saw a tall black hair-covered figure standing at the treeline staring with eyes that tracked the car, stopped briefly in shock, then left the area without returning.
