Sundown sighting near Tishomingo State Park

5 January 2006 roughly 5pm near sunset Tishomingo, Tishomingo County, Mississippi 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving southwest on the parkway near mile marker 307 at sunset with a companion in the car. He saw a solid black biped about four to five feet tall moving along the roadside, which then sprinted between his car and an oncoming vehicle. The figure lost its footing at the road edge, steadied itself with its arms, and disappeared into the woods within seconds. The companion did not see it.
