Account

The witness was driving south at night with relatives in two separate trucks when bright headlights revealed a very large animal in the median. As the truck approached, the creature was seen crouched over what looked like a dead deer and then turned to look toward the vehicle. A companion in the other truck confirmed immediately by phone that he had seen the same thing.
