Account

The witness was driving south with his wife on a clear afternoon when they saw a tall, hairy biped cross the road ahead of them from a field into woods. They watched it continuously as they approached, noting its long arms, long strides, and large size. After it disappeared over a guardrail into a steep wooded ravine, they stopped but could not relocate it.
