Account
The witness was driving home with family when a large creature was seen standing motionless beside the highway embankment. The vehicle passed in a few seconds and an immediate return to the spot found nothing there. Years later, discussion revealed a companion had seen a creature on the opposite side of the road during the same passing, implying two individuals were present.
