Account

The witness was driving home from work late at night when headlights caught glowing eyes beside the road. Looking in the rearview mirror, she saw a very large, thick-limbed silhouette standing in the road behind her under bright moonlight. She stopped to watch as the upright, slightly bent figure crossed the road and disappeared into trees on the other side.
