Account

The witness and a companion were leaving home by car in the morning when they noticed a tall black hair-covered biped walking away down a dirt road. They watched it alternate between the road and ditch until it entered the woods out of sight. Afterward a relative and another person found multiple footprints along the road and photographed the clearest track.
