Motorist observes a dark shaggy figure running on the road in daylight near Ogden

The witness was driving west on a paved rural road after collecting a child from camp when a dark upright figure was spotted walking on the gravel shoulder well ahead. As the vehicle closed the distance, the figure looked toward the vehicle, ran along the shoulder, cut across into the opposite lane while moving uphill, then turned off onto a tractor access and vanished into a cornfield and woods about 100 yards away. The witness's son in the vehicle also saw the figure, while the daughter did not, and the witness described it as dark and shaggy with a fast, unusual motion that left doubt about whether it was human.

Truck driver watches a Bigfoot chase Deer across US-30 west of Boone

A semi-truck driver traveling east on Highway 30 through the Des Moines River valley at twilight saw three deer run across the road ahead, followed about 75 yards behind by a tall hairy biped apparently chasing them. The biped crossed the highway ditch and lane in a few long strides. As the truck reached the crossing point, the creature stood at the edge of the tree line about 75 feet off the road watching the truck pass and turning to watch the deer.
