Account

The witness was driving south with two family members at dusk when a very tall dark upright figure was seen standing at the crest of a hill by the highway. The figure crossed the road west to east and disappeared into heavy woods beyond a steep rocky drop. The driver stopped at the crossing point but could see nothing further.
