Witness describes two different sightings outside Oneida

Account

In 1986 the witness stopped in a car near a church at dusk to adjust the radio when dirt and gravel struck the hood. The witness then noticed a tall hair-covered figure standing on the roadside berm and drove slowly past it at close range before speeding home. The witness showed dirt still on the hood to a relative that evening and found scooped-out chunks missing from the berm the next day.
