Account
Woman woke up at 2 a.m. and saw a face like a gorilla's looking in her open bedroom window, which was 9 feet above the ground. It kept watching her until she summoned courage to close the drapes. Leathery skin with many wrinkles, deep-set oval eyes with no whites, but with a reddish glow, flat nose like a gorilla.
