Account

The witness was driving with a companion on a rural road between pine forests in the early morning when headlights caught bright eyes in the woods. A very large, gray-brown shaggy animal then crossed the road in front of the vehicle at high speed in a hunched, primate-like run. Both occupants were startled and said they did not know what the animal was.
