Nighttime sighting by motorist on Hwy 33 near Seneca Rocks

Account

The witness was driving east on US 33 at night with a companion dozing in the passenger seat. He saw a tall, bulky, hair-covered upright figure walking along the roadside and shouted in surprise. The vehicle behind them braked and turned on high beams, suggesting its occupants may also have seen it. The figure did not react to the cars or lights and was described as definitely not a bear, deer, or large dog.
