Minnesota Woman Shocked At Unusual Sighting By Back Door (VIDEO)

Minnesota Woman Shocked At Unusual Sighting By Back Door

Are you ready to be freaked out?  Have you ever had a moment where you are just staring at the TV and sort of zone out at what the rest of the world is doing?   That's me normally but earlier this spring, I was binge-watching a little bit of Netflix...ok, a lot of Netflix...and everyone else was in bed already.  It was just me and my dogs.  Thankfully they were asleep behind the chair I was sitting in because I think they would have broken our sliding glass door if they saw what showed up in our yard.

I don't live in the city limits of Rochester, Minnesota but I do have a Rochester address so I'm not far from the rest of the busy Med City life.  But I do have woods, a few acres, and deer that are in our yard every single day.  In fact, in the winter, they had a path cut in the snow because they walk in the same spot multiple times a day.

What showed up by my back door though was NOT a deer.  It was NOT a fox.  At first, I honestly thought it was one of my neighbors' dogs because every now and then, they wander and need a little help getting back to their yards.  It wasn't a dog though.

I paused my Netflix and got closer to the door to try to take a video of the prowling animal.  I thought for sure that it would bolt as soon as I got closer to the door but it didn't.  It hardly even cared that I was there.  I did manage to get a video though and you can see it below or over on TikTok.

Crazy, right?!  I'm pretty sure this was a coyote.

We hear coyotes every now and then and have had smaller coyotes near the house but never this close.
