Driver & passenger observe late night road crossing near Spruce Pine
Account
The witness and a companion were driving home from a late-night shopping trip when their headlights revealed an animal in the road ahead. They watched it move on two legs in a sideways manner from one side of the road to the other while looking toward their vehicle, then disappear into a field. They slowed to look into the field but saw no further sign of it and later concluded it must have lain down in the grass.
