Memory told of a close encounter by motorists just north of Rushville
Account
The witness was driving with a relative on a highway through woods at night when headlights illuminated a tall dark bipedal figure standing in the road. The figure bent down, picked up a smaller dark figure, looked toward the car, then carried the smaller figure against its chest while moving quickly on two legs into the woods. Both occupants of the car observed the figure and were left in shock.
