Account

Late at night in September 1997, the witness was smoking on a back porch when a high-pitched screech was heard from a neighboring yard. The witness then saw a very tall white human-like form running through that yard with its head turned toward them. The form ran into nearby woods and running sounds continued for several seconds before the witness went inside.
