1 witness
Account
At age twelve the witness took a junk car for a night joyride outside town and it died. While walking back under bright moonlight, trees shook as something approached through swamp. A very tall hairy figure stepped into the ditch and paced him across the road for about three miles to a yard light, where it crashed away through woods as he pounded on a door and then got into a truck.
