Account

Late at night the witness stopped at a stop sign while driving out of a subdivision after visiting a friend. An upright, hairy figure emerged from the woods and moved quickly toward the driver's side door, prompting the witness to drive away quickly. In the rearview mirror the witness saw the figure cross the road behind the vehicle. The witness also reported a strong skunk-like and urine odor despite closed windows.
