Man sees creature cross the road, truck is damaged by flying stick
Account
The witness was driving on a gravel road through a state park when a man-like figure crossed the road in four steps. After stopping at the crossing spot, the witness smelled a strong rank odor, heard a faint grunt, and a fist-sized stick was thrown and hit the side of the truck. The witness later reported the incident to ranger staff and has since avoided the area.
