Account
A truck driver was sitting in his truck at night on the outskirts of a swamp during an oil loading operation. He reported a strong gamey smell and, after turning on the headlights, saw a large ape-like creature with red eyes staring at him. He panicked and drove away with the loading hose still attached, spilling oil, and afterward refused to do night loads.
