Account
In early to mid-October 1981, the witness was driving to work on old Highway 68 toward Fayetteville. Near the bridge at Fairmount Road, the witness saw a reddish-brown figure digging at the ground beside the bridge. The figure looked up as the car passed, then jumped up and ran across the road in long, fast strides.
