Account

The witness was driving home from a funeral at dusk over a mountain highway when a tall, dark-haired biped ran across the road in front of the car. The witness braked hard as an oncoming van also stopped, and the figure ran straight up the mountainside and disappeared. The witness later learned the van occupants reported the same sighting.
