Account

The reporter woke about 3 a.m. and saw a tall black figure walking up the road near a street light, noticing a dead-like odor. After it passed behind trees, the reporter woke the mother and both watched its figure through trees in a ditch by the road. They described it as playing with a can or object lying by the road.
