Account

The witness was driving south in a delivery truck in daylight when he noticed a large dark figure standing motionless by the roadside ahead. As he approached, the figure turned away and disappeared into dense timber within a few steps, swinging its arms. The witness slowed but did not stop to search, and the sedan ahead did not appear to react.
