Gorilla-like figure spotted by two motorists along a roadside near Mauston

10 June 2000 early morning around 6 AM Mauston, Adams County, Wisconsin 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was riding as a passenger with a relative driving early in the morning past a field bordered by pine forest. Both occupants noticed a large brown hairy figure seated with its back to the road facing the treeline, and slowed to about 45 mph while passing without stopping. The figure remained stationary and was described as broad-shouldered with a pointed conical head, no distinct neck, and very long arms with hands beside the body.
