Account

While delivering newspapers before sunrise, the witness stopped at paper tubes and noticed a dark figure walking along the edge of a cornfield by the treeline. The figure turned toward the witness, showing large red eyes, paused to look again when the witness moved the vehicle for a better view, then continued walking away. The witness left quickly after watching for about 20 to 25 seconds.
