Account
The witness was driving on I-5 past Rice Hill on a dark, rainy Sunday night with high beams on. They saw a figure sitting on the roadside embankment in a fetal-like posture and made eye contact from less than 20 yards away. As the car passed, the figure stood up very tall and walked away north along the interstate, convincing the witness it was not a stranded person.
