Account

The witness and relatives moved into a secluded house surrounded by woods on Christmas Day. The next morning the witness noticed large footprints in fresh snow that led from the woods around the side of the house to the high front windows. A relative went outside and noted the prints were much larger than his own feet but dismissed them as boots.
