Three men have a late night encounter with a bi-pedal figure

20 June 2004 between 12-- 1 am Rochester Ny Town Of Greece, Monroe County, New York 3 witnesses

Account

Three friends were on a late-night bike ride and had stopped to talk by a pond. They noticed a tall tan-or-gray figure standing behind a tree in the darkness. As they approached, the figure moved bipedally across the path toward the woods and one witness saw it glance back. The group followed to the wood line and heard movement in the branches for a short time before silence.
