Account

A husband and wife were driving slowly on a dark, icy, snow-covered road at night to pick up their son. A tall, dark, hair-covered biped stepped into their headlights and crossed directly in front of their car in two long strides before going into a nearby yard and hiding in trees. They continued on to collect their son.
