Daylight sighting by two witnesses driving on State Route 26 outside Grafton Notch State Park
Account
The witness and her husband were driving out of the park in the early afternoon when the car ahead braked hard. They watched a tall brown bipedal figure run very quickly across the road while leaning forward with its arms held behind it. They stopped at the crossing point but found only woods on both sides with no people, parking areas, or sign of the figure.
