Account

Late at night the witness was driving home along Highway 50 near the Sulphur River bottom when headlights from his car and an oncoming car lit a large dark upright figure on the roadside. The figure quickly crossed the two-lane road in a few long walking steps, appearing slumped forward with arms swinging. The witness slowed, stopped, turned around and searched the area with headlights but found nothing further.
