Witness describes getting a good look at a bi-pedal creature while driving on a country road in Buckhannon

11 September 2009 night Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home alone at night on a narrow wooded road when eyeshine caused her to slow near a curve. Her headlights revealed a brown-haired bipedal creature standing off the road about ten feet away. The creature watched her pass, making eye contact and showing pointed teeth, then turned its head to follow until she left the area. She felt intense fear only after passing.
