Newspaper delivery couple describe 4am encounter outside Roanoke near Blue Ridge Pkwy

October 2019 around 3:30-4am Vinton, Roanoke County, Virginia 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were delivering newspapers overnight when headlights revealed a tall, dark-brown, shaggy-haired biped at the road edge. It walked quickly uphill on two feet, and after the car was repositioned the pair watched a pair of glowing red-yellow eyes blinking from behind a tree for about ten minutes. When they returned after finishing the route the figure was gone but vegetation where it stood appeared pushed down.
