Brothers see large upright creature while driving one evening south of Crestview
Account
Two brothers driving late at night first mistook a dark roadside figure for a large bear, then turned around for a better look. They then saw a very tall, black, hairy upright figure on the opposite side of the highway that paused, appeared to turn its head toward them, and ran into the adjacent pine woods.
