        My Name is Johnathan. I have seen something that I can't explain. No one believes me.

        It happened last year when I was working on a paper late at night for my college and my dog started barking. My dogs name is Charlie, He is pretty old, and he isn't all that “jumpy” like puppys are. So if he gets scared, that means something is truly scary. So when I was working on my paper and he started barking out the window, I knew something was up.

        I did ignore it for a little, thinking it could be a squirrel or a rabbit. But when he wouldn't stop barking I got up and walked over to the window. When I looked out I saw a light beam waving around in the yard, I think, you know from like a flashlight or something. I didn't really think anything of it, thinking it could be just some stupid kid doing a dare or a prank, some drunk guy looking for his beer, I don't know something like that. I looked at it for a while and it just kept waving around. Then I decided to go out and see what it was.

         I thought about bringing Charlie but I decided to leave him at the house, I didn't want him to step in a hole or trip and hurt himself or anything like that. After all he is old. Then I grabbed a flashlight, put on my coat, and went out the backdoor into the yard. Charlie was barking the whole time. Right when I walked out the door, the light turned towards me. I was expecting the light to turn off and the guy, or whatever it was, to run away, but it just sat there and looked at me. I started walking towards the light and the closer I got the more it faded away. When I got about ten yards away from it, it was completely gone.

         I stood there looking around waving my flashlight left and right trying to see where the light could have gone. After a while of standing There I heard Charlie start barking really loud. I turned around and then, I saw a beam, from a flashlight, come out the backdoor.
