Couple view figure standing on gravel road looking at them
Account
The witness and a companion had pulled off a gravel road east of Bedford in the afternoon when the companion said someone was watching. The witness then saw a tall hair-covered biped standing in the road about 50 to 60 yards ahead. After the witness stepped out with a rifle and started approaching, the creature turned and ran through briars into a cornfield, and the pair left.
