Account
The witness and a companion were driving west on a highway at night when a large black-haired biped stepped over a guardrail into their headlights. The figure crossed the road with a graceful but bent-legged stride, turned to look toward the vehicle, then continued across and climbed a sheer cliff out of view. The witness described it as about eight feet tall, powerfully built, and covered in short hair.
