Family has sighting while driving along Hwy 96 near Yreka, CA
Account
The witness was driving east on a highway at night with four children to collect a relative. After re-engaging bright headlights on a slight curve, the witness saw a tall slim grey hair-covered figure standing beside the narrow roadside looking toward the vehicle. The figure stayed largely still while turning its head to follow the slow-moving vehicle for an estimated 15-20 seconds at close range. The driver then accelerated away and stopped at a rest area to recover from fright.
