Account

The witness was driving slowly toward a stop sign with a relative and dog in the vehicle when she saw a very tall hairy figure standing between pines off the road. She braked suddenly and the animal turned and walked away, quickly vanishing into the trees. The relative did not see the animal but noticed the witness became frightened. No tracks, photos, or other physical evidence were collected.
