Account

The witness parked while driving back roads with a dog, which refused to leave the car, and walked to a hilltop overlooking a gravel road. He noticed a tall gray figure at the roadside that he first mistook for a decaying tree, then saw it turn and take a few steps into the treeline. He described it as about 7 feet tall with a very thick body and arms reaching near the knees, with lower legs hidden by tall grass.
