Man recalls his late night sighting outside the town of Washington
Account
In spring 1981 the witness and a companion were stopped in a car on a rural road at night with headlights on. A very large gray-haired bipedal creature emerged from bushes about 15 yards ahead, paused to look at them, then crossed the road and continued up a hill into the woods. The companion locked the doors and did not want to follow on foot.
