Account

The witness was driving with a companion on a highway at night when they encountered an animal in the road near a road-killed deer. They braked hard, and the animal stood up from a squat, moved to the roadside, looked at them briefly, vocalized, and left into the woods. Both occupants briefly got out, felt watched, pulled the deer carcass off the road, and left.
