9 October 1987 around 10:30-11:00 pm Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania 2 witnesses

Account

Late at night two occupants driving slowly on a rural road braked for a very large upright hairy figure that stepped into the road in front of the car. The figure crossed the road in one or two strides, stepped over a barbed-wire fence, and disappeared. The occupants did not stop to look back and drove back to town rapidly.
