Man recalls his nighttime roadside sighting near Markdale
Account
The witness was riding in the backseat while the family car rounded a curve on a gravel road at night. The witness saw a tall fur-covered figure standing at the treeline atop an embankment, then watched it walk down on its hind legs to the edge of the road as the car slowed for a stop sign ahead. The companions in the front seat did not see it and drove on.
