August 2014 9:30 p.m., dark Grant Grove, Fresno County, California 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his wife were driving on Highway 180 at night when their headlights lit two upright, hair-covered figures ahead. The larger figure led while a smaller figure followed, and both crossed the road in a few seconds and went down the embankment into a forested area. The witness emphasized the figures walked on two feet with long human-like strides and were not bears or people.
