Family on their way home see a large, hairy creature cross the road
Account
Four people driving home reported a large hairy bipedal figure crossing the road in front of them and disappearing into brush toward a river. They described it as about seven feet tall and ape-like, covering a roughly 35-foot-wide road in four to five steps. They later returned to look for tracks and reported finding unfamiliar inward-pointing prints, but no other sounds or signs.
