At a location locally known as “Cat’s Eye”, on Madison Avenue a young lady was sitting on her front porch, an enclosed patio with a few large windows. One window opened in the front, beside the front door, smoking a cigarette. It was after 11pm and visibility was good, up to 100 feet because of streetlights. She said before this sighting, she had heard strange noises and the local dogs had been going nuts, off and on without an apparent reason.

As she smoked the cigarette, she noticed movement, thinking it was someone walking down the railroad tracks she looked up and saw something that “blew her mind”. It was, in her words, a thing that had a head of a dog, almost exactly like a German shepherd, and was walking like a person on two legs. She said she saw its eyes and that is when she noticed it was staring at her. She said that she “became lost in its eyes”. Any other description she cannot recall clearly after seeing it look at her and then her seeing its eyes. She said it was rather dark colored and almost had the look of wearing an oversized black sweatshirt, but she did not think it was a sweatshirt, but hair or fur. She said its height was in the neighborhood of six feet, maybe just a bit less. She stated how several times the eyes “drew her in”. The creature took a couple of steps towards her and at that time she saw a flash of light. The creature looked towards the direction it was originally heading and in a very quick movement spun around and took off in the direction it had come from. The brief flash of light, she soon found out, was her mother’s headlights as she turned into the road. She repeatedly asked her mother if she seen anything near the railroad tracks when she was near home. Her mother had not seen the creature. Interestingly, directly across from the witness’ home there is a government installation that has an array of cameras installed over the entire property.
