Nurse has roadside encounter with "very large, dark figure."

After finishing a long work shift, the witness was driving north on Highway 259 in the early morning. In patchy fog near wooded roadside, she noticed a tall dark furry figure standing at the edge of the woods beside a group of trees. She estimated it was about seven feet tall and believed it was not human because of its size. Frightened, she continued driving without stopping for a closer look.
