Woman recalls encountering a creature while driving through Talladega National Forest
Account
The witness reported rounding a sharp curve on a two-lane road at night with headlights illuminating a standing figure on the roadside very close to the car. The figure appeared hunched and swung its arms in a manner the witness interpreted as angry or about to jump into the road. A daughter was also in the car during the encounter that lasted several seconds.
