Account
In late August around six pm the guest rode on a truck tailgate with the cameraman to set up an interview. Looking a quarter mile down the hill they saw a very tall totally black figure standing in the middle of the road by the bridge. It leaned slightly, seemed curious, and was watched until the hill blocked view as they drove away.
