Just after sundown, driver has sighting close to Carter Mountain
Account
In fall 1986 at dusk the witness was driving up a mountain dirt road when he passed a tall, hairy upright figure standing beside a large tree. The figure turned its head to watch the vehicle go by but was gone when the witness turned around and drove back minutes later. The next morning the same tree was found fallen across the road and was being cut up, destroying any possible tracks.
