Account

The witness was driving west on a rural road in the early morning when a tall hairy biped stepped into the headlight beam. The witness braked to a near stop and watched the animal cross the road in long unhurried strides, step over a barbed wire fence, and disappear into the woods. The witness then secured the vehicle and drove away quickly.
