31 January 2020 early dusk about 5:30 pm Bryson City, Swain County, North Carolina 2 witnesses

Account

A couple driving home along a river road passed a strange figure on the roadside, then saw it standing and watching them as they drove away. They turned around and drove back to the same stretch of road, stopping about 100 yards away to watch the large black-haired figure standing at the road edge. The husband briefly got out of the vehicle for a better look before they left the area.
