Account
After spending the day exploring a river canyon area, the witness was driving home at night. In the high beams the witness saw a dark squat shape on the roadside, first thought to be a bear. As the vehicle slowed, the figure stood upright and walked into the woods with a human-like arm swing, showing dark fur but no fine detail.
