Account
The witness was driving to work in the morning when a dark figure climbed a roadside bank, stood up, and crossed the highway in a few very long strides to the treeline. The figure was estimated at 7 to 8 feet tall, appeared covered in hair, walked slightly slouched, and paused to look toward the witness. The witness continued driving and returned later, but rain had packed down the site and no footprints were found.
