Account

The witness was riding in a vehicle with two relatives after night fishing when a tall upright figure appeared in the high-beam headlights on a dirt road. The figure traversed the roadway quickly and ascended a steep roadside bank with little apparent effort. The witness watched for only a few seconds, while a relative also saw the figure as it went over the bank.
