Account

Two occupants of a van were driving east after dropping off a passenger when a white furry figure crossed the road in front of them. The figure was described as walking upright from woods on one side to woods on the other and was glimpsed in the headlights. The occupants reportedly continued in silence for several minutes before speaking about what they had seen.
