Possible evening sighting by pedestrian on the outskirts of Little River and N. Myrtle Beach

About two weeks before reporting, the witness was walking along Highway 17 at night to and from a store. On the return trip beside a wooded creek, something moved through the brush and seemed to follow, stopping when the witness stopped. In a partially lit spot at the woods edge the witness saw a reddish, long-haired, ape-like creature squatting with its long arms forward.

September 1998 Mullins, Horry County, South Carolina Class A #23314

Late night roadside sighting by motorist on Hwy. 917 south of Mullins

The witness was driving home late at night in September 1998 when they noticed an animal in a roadside ditch near a river. Believing at first it was a dog possibly feeding on roadkill, they slowed as it turned, pushed itself up with its arms, and began to stand. They described an ape-like, fur-covered creature with a bare orangutan-like face, broad chest, and very long arms, and continued past without stopping.
