Dusk sighting by cyclist north of the town of Virginia
Account
The witness was riding a bicycle on a dirt road in the evening when they saw a tall, lanky, black-furred creature about 300 feet away on a hill at the forest edge. The creature looked at the witness, then crouched and walked upright up the hill into the forest. The witness felt scared, left in the opposite direction, and reported the encounter years later after hearing a scientist discuss the subject.
