Possible sighting around 2:00AM near Courtenay
Account
The witness arrived home late at night under bright moonlight and saw a large dark form standing in a ditch behind a telephone pole across the road, watching. The witness pointed it out to a parent, who glanced toward it and hurried the family inside. The form remained motionless during the several minutes observed, and a next-day check found only muddy water in the about 2-foot-deep ditch.
