Account

In mid-May 2013 at early dusk, the witness stopped on a remote dirt road to photograph horses. After putting the car in gear she saw a large dark bipedal figure leap from a hillside across the road into a ravine in under ten seconds. She drove to the crossing point but saw nothing further and later noted the fence there was bent.
