Account

The witness was driving with his girlfriend to a high school dance when a dark hairy biped emerged from a grass field and walked diagonally into the road in front of the car. The driver slowed and swerved around it while it turned to look at them twice, showing no fear or expression, then left the road into a field. The couple fled shaken, and the passenger refused to discuss it afterward.
