Account
The witness was driving on a back road at night with three companions when a light-brown figure crossed the road in front of the car and entered the woods. Only the witness and the front-seat companion saw the mid- and lower torso and legs moving with fast, person-like strides. The driver slowed with intent to stop but kept driving after the back-seat passengers asked not to stop.
