Account
The witness was driving home alone around 3 a.m. and waited at a one-lane railroad underpass, noticing a foul odor and unease. Headlights then caught the side/back of a tall orange-haired biped stepping through tall grass about 40 feet away. The figure moved quickly out of view. The next day the witness paced the grass depth against own height and estimated about eight feet tall.
