23 June 2025 about 9:45 p.m. Sturgis / Boulder Canyon, Lawrence County, South Dakota 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving alone at night on a highway through the Black Hills when a large dark biped stepped over a guardrail onto the road very close to the car. She saw its shoulders, chest and legs beside the passenger side before it disappeared into darkness behind the vehicle. Frightened, she did not stop and immediately called her fiancé about what she had seen.
