Dusk and evening sightings around Stissing Mountain
Account
In late spring 1985 the witness and a companion were driving in daylight when a tall figure crossed the road in a few strides and entered a field. They reached the spot seconds later but the figure had disappeared from the open field. The witness later described the figure as tall, heavy, hunched and dark with obscured facial features.
