Memory told of a dusk sighting as a passenger in traffic on I-35 outside Wichita

November 2003 dusk Wichita, Sumner County, Kansas 1 witness

Account

While riding as a passenger on a congested interstate at dusk in drizzle, the witness watched a large hair-covered animal loping in a deep drainage ditch. As the car pulled alongside, the animal stood upright on two legs, stepped up the bank and over a barbed-wire fence into a tree line and disappeared. The husband who was driving did not see the figure.
