Account
The witness was riding as a passenger in a car driven by a relative on Highway 22 in the afternoon. The witness saw a tall, muscular, hair-covered figure run upright with long strides across a cleared power-line area. The relative also looked and first thought it was a man or bear but concluded it was neither. The pair stopped to watch but the figure did not reappear, and they did not check for footprints.
