Smith River Rd. - Videocamera Accidently Captures Distant Bipedal Movement near Smith River Road
Account
Two people driving a convertible toward the coast were videotaping the road as they drove. A distant figure came from behind a tree and ran quickly into the woods about two football fields away, appearing in the video only very briefly. They did not stop at the time and only focused on it after reviewing the footage, which they kept. Later review of the video found the figure extremely small in the frame and inconclusive.
