Yonkers, really close to the Hudson river
A man saw the thing in front of his window in the front yard of his house around 1:39 am. It was about three and a half feet tall and very strong and persistent. It had been watching him for a while. He had been watching TV and was on the couch facing away from the window. The blinds from the window began to bounce around. For like 20-something minutes, while he watched the movie, the blinds kept bouncing around. When the movie ended he went to close the window. There it was just staring at him with huge red glowing eyes. It was what had been bouncing the blinds. The only reason it didn't get in was because of the metal window safety bars installed with reinforced screws and rivets. It knocked down the plants from the window sill and some of the plants were trampled down. It tore a small hole in the screen and the bars are kinda loose and he could see that something was pushing on the bars with a lot of force.
