Account
Two people driving on a gravel road at night saw a tall gray-haired biped cross the road in front of their car and step over a barbed-wire fence. The animal moved slowly and showed no reaction to the vehicle. After driving on, the pair got stuck turning around in a wheat field, then drove back past the site without seeing the creature again.
