Tall figure seen crossing a field in Mammoth

14 September 2008 around 2:30 AM Mammoth Lakes, Mono County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving out of a condo complex around 2:30 a.m. to drive home. The truck headlights illuminated a very tall figure walking north through a field beside the road. The witness watched its side profile as it moved quickly with long swinging arms and did not react to the lights. After turning onto the main road, the witness looked back and could no longer see it.
