School bus drivers have two daylight sightings near Vanceburg.
Account
The reporter states that in the late 1970s her father was driving a school bus early in the morning when a large hair-covered man- and ape-like creature came down a deer path. He braked and watched it run across the road and continue down the path on the other side for about a minute. An investigator later spoke with the father by phone and recorded additional descriptive details.
