June 2004 morning about 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. Badin Or Albermarl, Montgomery County, North Carolina 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his father were driving back toward their campsite in the national forest in the morning when they saw a large upright figure on and crossing the dirt road. The figure briefly stopped, looked toward them, then stepped off the road and walked downhill into the woods, at one point completely blocking a roadside sign from view. They drove to the spot where it left the road and found the brush undisturbed and no tracks.
