Motorists have night time sighting near edge of Altona
Account
Two people driving home at night saw an upright, muscular animal beside the road in their high-beam headlights. As they passed, it moved away from the roadside and walked down into a large ditch toward a house. The witnesses described it as about seven feet tall with long, scraggly brown hair and said they could not see its face. They were frightened and did not go back to look for tracks.
