"Clump of grass" in ditch stands and lopes across road

Account

The witness was driving north on a paved highway in the early evening when a figure rose from the dry grass in the roadside ditch. The figure crossed the road about 100 yards ahead without looking to either side, moving quickly with long steps, then entered brush and disappeared. The witness continued to the first available telephone and called home to report what had been seen.
