Man has clear sighting of a bipedal primate on clear winter night
Account
Late at night two people parked near a bridge watched a tall figure cross a marsh, step over a fence without stopping, then turn and run toward them at high speed. They drove away over the bridge while the figure pursued briefly before breaking off at the hardtop road and returning to the forest. The writer states the figure matched no known animal or human they had encountered.
