Newspaper delivery couple describe 4am encounter outside Roanoke near Blue Ridge Pkwy
The witness and a companion were delivering newspapers overnight when headlights revealed a tall, dark-brown, shaggy-haired biped at the road edge. It walked quickly uphill on two feet, and after the car was repositioned the pair watched a pair of glowing red-yellow eyes blinking from behind a tree for about ten minutes. When they returned after finishing the route the figure was gone but vegetation where it stood appeared pushed down.
Night sighting on the edge of Salem, within a few miles of Roanoke River
The reporting relative relayed an account from the witness, who was painting a vacant house at night. Around 10:45 p.m. the witness stepped into the front yard to smoke and heard dogs barking and something crashing through trees. A very large, hairy creature ran past at high speed making loud grunting sounds before crossing the road and disappearing.
