Account

The witness was driving with a companion late at night when they noticed a large greyish hairy figure standing by the road watching their vehicle. When the truck got within about 20 to 30 feet, the figure turned and ran rapidly across a field with long strides. Both occupants were frightened and kept driving without turning back to look again.
