New driver frightened into screaming as he passes huge creature walking along road

April 1995 night, clear and starry New Richmond (6 Miles), St. Croix County, Wisconsin 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving at night near a railroad crossing when he noticed a very large, light-colored, hair-covered creature walking along the road with its back toward him. As he drove closer and passed it, he screamed in terror while the creature continued walking without reacting. He stopped briefly at an intersection, feeling panicked and highly agitated, but did not look back at the creature's face.
