Three motorists have late night sighting near Manton
Account
Late at night the witness was driving home with a son and daughter, all awake and alert, when an ape-like animal crossed the road in front of their moving vehicle at very high speed on its knuckles and disappeared into the darkness. All three occupants reported seeing the same animal and agreed it looked like a primate unlike familiar local wildlife, later speculating it might have been a young Sasquatch.
