Account

The witness and her son were driving at night when the car headlights revealed a large hair-covered creature standing still in the middle of the road. They stopped and watched it for two to three minutes from about 200 feet away while it looked toward the river and never looked at the vehicle. The encounter ended when the witness turned into a nearby driveway and continued to a relative's house.
