Family has early morning encounter at small bridge
Account
The witness and four family members were driving home on a rural highway in the early morning when their pickup passed a tall hair-covered figure standing beside the vehicle on a narrow bridge. The witness described looking directly at its human-like, wrinkled face and noting its stiff posture against the railing. The group briefly considered turning back but continued on, later concluding the figure was neither a man nor a bear.
