Account

Late in the evening the witness was in a vehicle on a dead-end road watching for animals with headlights on. A tall hair-covered bipedal figure emerged from the right side and crossed the road in two strides into dense timber. The witness sat in disbelief, then left to get help and returned to search for tracks, but none were found.
