Account

The witness and a companion were driving south from home around 1:30 a.m. when a tall, hairy creature ran north past the passenger side of their car. They turned around in a nearby lot but did not see it again. Later they found flattened grass in long strides, possible footprints up a hill, and hair caught on a fence wire.
