Account
The witness and a companion pulled their motorhome off Highway 101 late at night to rest. The vehicle was rocked three times over about ten minutes. After going outside, they heard a loud scream and watched a huge bipedal form run through the trees and across a stream. A patrol officer arrived shortly after and told them to leave the pull-off.
