Roadside Sighting near Moody

18 July 2007 at night Moody, St. Clair County, Alabama 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his wife were driving at night when their headlights caught a hair-covered humanlike figure standing on the left side of the road about 25-30 feet away. It faced them briefly, then ran bipedally a few steps and scrambled on all fours up an embankment behind it. When they looked back after passing, it was gone.
