Motorist witnesses two-legged man-like creature in field just off Hillsboro highway
Account
The witness was driving south at night with bright headlights on when an animal was seen standing still in a field beside the road. The headlights illuminated it head-on on approach and from the side when passing, but the viewing lasted only seconds due to speed. The witness returned about an hour later and the animal was gone.
