Motorist sees hairy biped crossing road by Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Account
The witness was driving east on Sagamore Road on a hot late morning. A dark brown or black figure emerged from the right and crossed the road and adjacent open area in three strides before disappearing. The witness noted its forearms held high, a silver-gray flash near the forearm and head, a stocky build, and height well over six feet. The witness concluded it was not a jogger because of its dark coloration in heat, inhuman speed, stride length, and thicker arms.
