Account

The witness was driving a VW bus around a tight curve at night when the headlights illuminated a white-haired creature loping uphill on all fours toward the road. As it reached the road edge within feet of the vehicle, it stood upright on its hind legs. The witness drove past it, did not see it in the mirrors in the dark, and was frightened.
