Account
While driving on US Highway 97 near sunset, the witness saw a very tall dark figure emerge from the treeline and cross both lanes in four strides without pausing. The figure moved briskly with swinging arms and a forward-leaning upper torso before disappearing into pines on the far side. The witness's companion was watching a hawk and did not see the figure, and the witness remained uncertain what it was.
