Class B First-hand BFRO #43901

Possible nighttime road crossing near Bethany

19 January 2014 approximately 9 p.m. Bethany, Wayne County, Pennsylvania 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home at night when, after glancing away from an oncoming car's high beams, they saw the lower part of a large dark long-haired figure. Only two very large legs with extremely large feet were visible in the headlights as it took three steps across the road and a fourth step up the roadside bank. The witness briefly stopped to look for tracks from the car, then left feeling frightened.
