nighttime road crossing sighting

Account

Late at night in 1982, a driver and a passenger were traveling on a wooded highway when the driver braked suddenly. The driver said a tall, dark, hairy biped was striding across the road in the headlights about 75 feet away and continued on. The passenger had been asleep and did not see it, being awakened by the braking and shout.
