Man has nighttime sighting in his yard
Account
Around 9:30 p.m. on a rainy night the witness heard miniature horses making noise in the yard and turned on a porch floodlight to look. From about 40 to 50 feet away in pines the witness saw a tall upright figure that looked toward the porch. The figure then turned and walked behind an outbuilding out of the light during a brief 2- to 3-second view.
