A woman has late night sighting when a motion detecting light illuminates her back porch

12 December 2004 about 1:00 in the morning Warwood, Ohio County, West Virginia 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness went to check on children sleeping in a bedroom that opens onto a porch against a wooded hillside. A motion light came on and the witness saw a tall, dark, shaggy creature standing on two legs at the window, partly obscured by a blind. The figure stood briefly, then left toward the woods. The next morning the witness found slide marks in mud on the hillside but no clear footprints.
