The witness was returning to her home after finishing work on the farm late at night when something caught her attention as she was almost at the door. 

To her left, she saw a "creature" that was running very fast about 30 yards away, not understanding what she was seeing, she could only describe an entity that looked like a "stick man". It seemed to turn its head over his left shoulder and look directly at her, then dashed toward her front door.

 A very upset witness ran inside and locked all the doors. It took her 2 hours to calm down; she started sobbing so hard that she started hyperventilating. 

She never told anyone, including her family, about what she saw. She felt that the "thing" wanted her to see this for some unknown reason.
