Woman witnesses creature crossing the road.

Account

Late at night the witness was driving with a companion and a child in the car on a short back road. As she came over a rise, she saw a very large being with red eyes run across the road ahead. She reached the crossing point seconds later but it had vanished into an open field with trees behind it. The companion, who was reading, did not see it.
