Account

The witness was driving northbound on I-5 through Centralia in a snowstorm shortly after midnight. A large dark humanoid figure crossed the highway from east to west in front of the vehicle and went over the center median without apparent effort. The witness saw its silhouetted head and shoulders against distant lights as it continued west across the southbound lanes while oncoming cars braked.
