Account

Late at night in fall 1989, the witness was driving seven companions home from a skating rink and slowed for S-curves on the road. A tall light-brown figure crossed in front of the car and headed toward a nearby cemetery. All occupants reportedly watched it for about 10-12 seconds before driving past and taking another way home.
