Late night road crossing near Apollo

12 October 1996 about 11pm Milligantown, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home late at night when a large manlike entity crossed the two-lane road in front of the vehicle in a few fast, smooth steps and disappeared into trees on the far side. The witness stopped, noting no other vehicles or people around, and heard it crashing through brush. The next morning the witness found a path of broken brush and trampled grass where it had crossed but no tracks.
