Account

The witness was driving home in the early morning hours when she came around a curve and saw a tall, dark-furred upright figure by the roadside that appeared to have just crossed from the river side. The figure watched her as she drove past, walking unhurriedly, and she continued without stopping while her companions slept. She described it as very tall with matted dark fur covering its body, mostly upright with a slight slouch.
