Motorist has possible sighting near Barrington
Account
Two people driving in the predawn hours saw a large dark-gray figure crossing the road in their headlights. They reported seeing only from the mid-chest down, describing it as upright on thick muscular hind legs and stooped over. It left the roadway into woods behind a house, and the witnesses drove away without stopping. A later daytime check found nothing.
