Driver sees bipedal creature in headlights near Yellowstone hot spot
Account
The witness was driving with a companion from Yellowstone's east gate toward Cody after dark when a dark, large bipedal figure crossed the road in front of the van in about two strides. Both occupants joked about having seen a sasquatch and attributed it to tiredness, continuing without turning back. The witness recalled the moment later after reading about a cast and hotspot reports.
