Shadowy figure seen on the roadside.
Account
The witness was driving home from practice at night with his daughter when he noticed a dark area on a rocky hillside that seemed to absorb the headlights. As they passed, the daughter exclaimed about a black thing behind them and later insisted it had been standing, discernible by its profile, while the witness had thought it looked like it was sitting. The witness did not see details and on later drives at the same time of night never saw the shape again.
