Incident #991936
King George, King George Cty, Virginia
Jun 1985
Account
Family living off Rte 205 experienced strong odours and nocturnal screaming in 1977, 1978, and the early 1980's, sporadically. On this occasion in 1985 they were sitting in the kitchen when Jeannie, early 20's, saw through the glass door a huge dark figure dashing across the floodlit back yard. Her mother, Mickey Edge, flicked on the carport light and looked out the kitchen window. An 8-foot apelike creature was standing 15 feet away at the edge of the carport. It walked sideways along the house, turned and faced the window. Its eyes glowed white but when it walked towards the carport light the glow went out. Mickey screamed. No account of how the creature departed. Sheriff called but no evidence found.
