Account

Two companions driving west at night on a desert highway saw a tall, thin figure covered in hanging hair jogging beside the road to their right. The view lasted less than ten seconds at about 20 to 30 feet, and no facial features were seen. Both occupants were frightened and drove on without stopping for proof.
