Account

The witness was driving home with three sisters late at night on an unlit country road when they saw a tall dark furry figure walking along the roadside in the same direction as the car. The witness slowed to a crawl and the figure briefly turned its head, showing yellow eyes, but continued its casual walk without changing course. The witness locked the doors and sped away while the younger sisters in the back were crying.
