Account

The witness was driving at night with a companion when an erect, hair-covered creature crossed the highway in front of the vehicle. The driver braked and alerted the companion, who saw only a brief glimpse as it entered dense woods. The driver searched the crossing point with a flashlight but found no tracks or other sign.
