Nighttime sighting near Goeldner Woods County Park
Account
The witness was driving at night with sleeping family members when he noticed a tall, lanky figure covered in brown hair crouched by an intersection sign. The figure stood as the car approached as if to cross the road, and its eyes reflected yellow in the headlights. The witness swerved and kept driving, then woke his wife and later called a relative to lock doors.
