Car passenger sees figure on road on remote, steep mountain pass
Account
During a cross-country drive up steep mountain switchbacks in bright daylight, the passenger, who had been watching for wildlife, noticed a dark-clothed man-like figure standing beside an upcoming stretch of road and intended to warn the driver. The driver, focused on the road, did not see the figure. When the car rounded the switchback to that spot, the figure was gone despite steep cliffs and almost no shoulder where someone could have stepped away.
