Possible eye-shine and sighting at a rural home near Stronghurst
Account
The witness was driving home late at night and stopped near cows along a treeline after noticing a pair of yellow eyes several feet above the cows' eye level. When the car door was opened the eyes shifted quickly sideways, and the witness left the area. Shortly after arriving home the witness walked back with a dog and flashlight; the dog growled at something unseen but nothing was seen.
