Husband and wife experience an up-close daylight sighting on Hwy. 7 north of Bovey
Account
The witness and his companion were driving south in their pickup when they saw a tall, dark-furred creature near the roadside ditch. It crossed the road less than 20 paces in front of them, then leaped the far ditch in a single stride. Both occupants watched it closely in clear daylight and described human-like but non-human movement and musculature.
