Multiple witness daylight motorist sighting at bike trail half mile west of Fort Ancient
Account
The witness was driving westbound with three family members and slowed near a bike-trail crossing. They all saw a large black figure standing on the trail at a distance, facing the river and appearing to have come from the woods. The vehicle did not stop and the figure was out of view in less than ten seconds, with snow on the ground and no other people on the trail.
