Watching For Ghost and UFO’s
While my Granddaughter Lauryn was here she asked if we could sit outside after dark and watch for UFO’s and ghost. I was not wild about the idea because the back yard scares the heck out of me at night. There are so many trees in the front yard that only a small portion of the sky is visible from the porch so sitting in front was out of the question.
I grabbed a beer for courage, along with binoculars, a flashlight, the camera, and bravely went out to the patio table on the back porch. Once it was completely dark that old familiar feeling of fear overcame me. Since I was so scared I was talking none stop when the sound of rustling came from the bushes at the side of the yard. I took the flashlight with shaking hands and went over to the bushes. With the light shining into the bushes two pairs of eyes looked back at me. With relief I saw it was the two pesky armadillos that provide us with holes in the yard.
After about an hour of sitting outside I saw something white moving in front of the barn. I took some photos and asked Lauryn if we could call it a night. The mosquitoes helped her to make the decision to go inside.
Last night my youngest son saw a large black animal in the back yard. He told me he only got a quick look at the animal but it looked like a panther and ran like one. I am so glad what ever it was did not make an appearance while Lauryn and I were outside by our selves.
