Account
The witness and a relative were driving to school one morning when they noticed a figure standing at the edge of the road watching their approach. The figure was described as human-sized, covered in very dark shaggy hair, hunched with arms hanging low, standing on two feet. As they drove past it disappeared into the surrounding forest and could not be seen when the witness looked back.
