Mays Lick, Mason Cty, Kentucky
Oct 1980
Account
Charles Fulton and family and his mother-in-law Anna Mae Saunders were watching television when something pulled heavily on the front door. Fulton opened it and a white-haired animal was standing there, its head out of sight above the 6'8" door frame. It ran off the porch, Fulton got a pistol, spotted it in the back yard and fired at it twice from 30 feet away. It ran off "at a slow-motion gallop." Fulton's wife Wanda and several of the children also saw it.
