Woman sees large upright figure cross road near midnight
Account
The witness was sitting on back porch steps late at night waiting for her boyfriend when she saw a large upright figure cross the road about 150 feet away near a streetlight. The figure continued across and disappeared behind tall shrubs along a neighbor's driveway. Neighbor's penned hunting dogs then began barking intensely, and the witness went inside; her mother and boyfriend heard the dogs but did not see the figure.
