Account
The witness was on a family drive with two relatives in Vinton County in the fall of 1986 or 1987 when a tall hair-covered biped ran across the road ahead of their vehicle while being chased by three to four dogs. The creature continued down a hill into pine forest while giving a very loud low-pitched howl that echoed. The occupants did not stop and drove on.
