Account
The witness was riding with family while driving at night on Highway 17 when a tall hair-covered figure was seen standing on the center line. Both the witness's car and an oncoming car stopped and observed it illuminated by taillights for about 30 seconds. The figure then leapt off the roadway into the adjacent creek/river, and both cars drove away without investigating.
