Account

The witness was driving on a paved highway near an ORV area in the morning with a companion. Around a curve she briefly saw a large black hair-covered man-shaped figure take a final step into dense roadside trees. Her companion, who was talking, did not see it. The witness slowed and both looked into the woods but saw nothing further.
