Account

Two occupants driving south on Highway 19 in the early morning reported seeing a tall brown human-shaped figure at the treeline that moved into the center of the road in front of them. They described it as about eight to nine feet tall with long arms held out and said they braked and narrowly avoided hitting it. They chose not to turn back and continued driving.
