Account

About a month before the report, the witness was driving home at night when his headlights caught a tall bipedal figure crossing the two-lane highway ahead. The lower legs and large feet were clearly lit while the upper torso was more shadowed, described as about 7.5 to 8 feet tall, about 3 feet wide, with long black matted hair and long arms swinging as it walked. The figure crossed from east to west in four steps, traveling between a wooded area and the river area.
