Account
The witness and her husband were driving slowly after shopping to look for new home sites when she noticed a figure ahead on the road. The figure continued down the road into deep woods where no one lived, and she saw it was large, dark, and covered in long hair. Her husband stopped the car and they spoke briefly, then he backed up, but the figure had vanished and they could not find it searching nearby roads.
