Two fishermen have close-up sighting while driving home at night from Norfork Lake
Account
Two men driving home from night fishing in the early morning hours saw an upright animal in their headlights on the west roadside. The animal took a long step to the center line, paused and looked at the vehicle occupants, then dropped to its knuckles and swung its body to the east shoulder where it disappeared from view.
