Account

The witness was driving north at night with his family when he saw a tall, hairy bipedal figure standing by the road. The figure walked east across the highway in front of the car with swinging arms while the witness slowed, and his wife also saw it. The figure stepped off into dune pines and they continued driving without stopping.
