Motorist nearly collides with a large white animal at night near McPherson

The witness was driving north at night with her daughter and her daughter's friend when a gigantic white furry creature ran toward the passenger side of the car.

She immediately called her ex-husband to report seeing again a creature similar to one seen 20 years earlier, noting a nearby field tractor and tree-line wildfire she thought it was fleeing.

Footprints found in a backyard lead to a possible nighttime sighting near Slatington

On the night of Jan. 13, 2014, the witness spotlighted a distant field from home and saw red eye shine that reacted to the light.

They watched the eyes blink and move low through a creek embankment from left to right, but could see no body because of distance. The witness recorded about a minute of phone video and estimated eye height the next day at 7.5 to 8 feet based on reed height.
