Account

The witness was driving slowly on a rural gravel road late at night when headlights illuminated a large dark figure in the road with glowing eyes. The figure moved to the side of the road on all fours, then stood upright beside the road as the witness passed within about fifteen feet. The witness described a very tall, heavily muscled, hair-covered male figure and continued driving home, later telling relatives.
