Glowing eyes seen by witness during snowstorm

On a snowy winter night around 1995, the witness was shoveling snow on the front porch when the dog rushed out then abruptly turned back inside as if frightened. The witness then noticed a pair of glowing eyes on a tall shape about 25 feet away toward the driveway. After staring briefly, the witness ran inside in fear and later told a relative about the experience.

Wood knock in New York
