Daylight sighting of a bipedal animal by a motorist near Linville
Account
The witness was driving home across a bridge over a river and looked down the river, noticing a large hair-covered figure standing on two legs in the middle of the water. As the witness braked, the figure turned its head to look at the witness, then passed out of view behind the bridge embankment. The witness circled back and stopped, but the figure was gone, and emphasized it was not a bear.
