Account

The witness was driving at night on I-25 over Raton Pass when he noticed a figure on the roadside. Immediately after his car passed, the figure stood upright and crossed the two-lane road behind the car in two to three long strides, seen in the rearview mirror. He described a very stocky figure about six and a half to seven feet tall with dark brown medium-length hair that appeared to flow with movement.
