Account
Two companions were driving home along River Road when something walked into the road ahead of them. They braked to about 25 feet away and watched a tall, hairy ape-like figure stop in the middle of the road, look toward the car, then continue across into the river where it was lost from sight. Both occupants stated they saw the same thing.
