Daylight sighting by two sisters near their farm in the early 1960s
Account
The witness was playing in the front yard of a farm in the afternoon and saw a very tall, long-haired figure walking along the road and appearing to search the ditches. The witness screamed, and the mother and older sister came out and also saw it before driving toward it for a closer look. The figure ran under a bridge and into the woods and was lost from sight. The next day, large footprints were found in the road.
