Account

A couple driving home at night saw a tall figure covered in reddish-brown fur standing at the tree line beside the road. The figure was illuminated by a light from across the street and appeared to be about to cross. Both witnesses watched it as they drove past, with one looking back through the rear window as they continued on.
