Account

The witness and a companion were driving west at night when a large hairy figure came up from a river bottom and crossed the highway in their headlights. They watched it for an extended time as it walked across the wide road, swinging its arms and glancing toward their vehicle, then left the shoulder down a small embankment. Both occupants waited until after passing it to discuss what they had seen.
