Account

The witness was hunting deer alone on a frozen mountain road in the morning when he noticed a black figure walking upright toward him from about 300 yards away. After it closed to about 250 yards it appeared to notice him, then crouched and leapt clear across the road into dense trees and disappeared. He waited and later searched the road edge and treeline but found no tracks, noting the ground was frozen.
