A family describes ongoing incidents near Meremac River outside Saint Clair

A relative was riding an electric bike home from work around 3 a.m. when a headlamp revealed a very large white hairy humanoid standing in a field about 20-25 yards away. The creature glanced toward the light then walked leisurely toward a creek and heavy woods while the rider coasted along at a similar distance for about 30-45 seconds. The relative was so frightened afterward that night riding stopped and a move into town followed.
