Account
While driving at night in summer 1989, the witness saw a tall, hairy biped in the headlights beside the road. The figure was walking the same direction as the car, so the witness could not see its face, and it was gone when the witness turned around to look again. The witness's companion was asleep at the time and did not see it.
