The witness was driving south on Highway 219 out of Hillsboro at night with high beams on while scanning for wildlife. The headlights illuminated a tall, upright, shaggy animal standing motionless in a field a short distance from the road.

A few days later the witness estimated the figure's height from a comparison tree and found no footprints on the hard soil.
