Account

The witness was driving at night while lost, with a passenger in the vehicle. The headlights illuminated a bipedal creature running diagonally across the highway, nearly striking its torso or upper thigh. The witness estimated a tall height and noted stringy chocolate-brown hair and no distinct neck, though visibility was very poor. The witness described having been a skeptic and remaining unsure what the creature was.
