Date report filed:   August 1995

Weather conditions:  Hot, Thunderstorm

Lighting conditions:   Night

Narrative of report:  

The witness was trying to sleep in a trailer that has no utilities and was very hot.  To get some cool air, he opened the front door and laid down on the floor in front of it.  As the lightning flashed, he noticed his two dogs were standing at the door looking up, frozen in position.  He wondered what they were looking at, so got up and went to the door and looked up himself.  He saw a creature standing outside facing the door with his arms crossed across his chest, looking up at the lightning.  The creature was just a few inches outside of the screen door that separated them.  As he stared at it, the creature slowly lowered his eyes until it was staring at the witness squarely in the face.  They both froze there staring at each other for as long as five minutes.  There was a lull in the lightning strokes, and when the next lightning came there was nothing there.

Witness indicated the creature was at least eight feet tall, and covered with black hair.  The witness said he saw his face really well, and stated it looked just like a 'cave man's face', but much larger.  He said it had a beard.

Follow up:   This report was taken two days after the incident, and the witness was still very frightened by what he had seen.  Witness is known and credible
