Account

Late on Thanksgiving night in 2003, the witness was driving home on Route 50 near Burlington after dropping off a friend. She braked to avoid a large black animal crossing the road on all fours. The animal reached the far side, turned to look at her with orange eye reflection in the headlights, and she fled home in distress.
