Recollection of a daytime road crossing near Upper Tract

8 August 2002 2:00pm Upper Tract, Pendleton County, West Virginia 1 witness

Account

On a clear sunny afternoon in August 2002, the witness was commuting to work when a reddish-brown creature with long arms emerged from the woods. The creature crossed the road in about three steps, glanced toward the witness, and continued up the opposite bank. The witness later estimated it at seven to eight feet tall and much bulkier than a 6'1" person.
