Account
Feeding rabbits about 5-6 a.m. in vacant lot behind house in rural area North of Evansville, heard something walking through brush. Looked up and saw dark manlike figure, said hello, its swayed from side to side, then approached. Had deep, oddly-shaped eye sockets and was covered with black hair. He fled. Friend Neil riding mini bike in nearby woods about the same period stopped to rest in a clearing, and this creature charged out of the woods, sweating, winded, with a beet-red face. Neil started the bike, startling the creature, and took off. Suburban area has two lakes and connects with large woods.
