Account

The witness and their spouse were driving on Highway 190 in southeast Texas at dusk in fall 1981 or 1982. A tall, lean, hairy figure stepped into the road ahead of them, paused near the center to look toward the vehicle, then continued off the road into vegetation. The pair watched for about ten seconds and drove past without stopping.
