newspaper article about a sighting by a jogger. Later, a sherif deputy found a track at the scene of the incident.
Account
Late on Thanksgiving night in 1977, the witness was returning home from jogging when he heard a noise in nearby bushes and ran uphill toward his house. He then turned and watched a large figure running along the road before it went over a barbed-wire fence with little effort and disappeared into a field. A deputy later reported finding an unusually large, deep foot-shaped track in gravel.
