Account
Four college students were driving slowly on a snow-covered road at night when a large hair-covered biped came from a field toward the road. It stepped over fences and ditches and crossed in front of their car from right to left without looking at them. The occupants watched it continue into the opposite field and drove on without stopping to look for it.
