Account

The witness and a relative were driving at night when the car headlights illuminated a large hairy figure sitting on a fallen tree beside a driveway. The relative urged the witness to drive on, and they left without stopping to investigate further. The witness later added that the figure had very long arms and a rounded head with long hair.
