Lori Pachelli heard someone knocking at the door of her home. She looked out to see an 8-foot alligator.

She thinks that the gator may have followed her home from walking her dog. She called her husband home, and the gator hung around their door for an hour or so before heading back into the nearby lake from where it had come. A trapper later captured it.
