Motorists have night time sighting near edge of Altona

Two people driving home at night saw an upright, muscular animal beside the road in their high-beam headlights. As they passed, it moved away from the roadside and walked down into a large ditch toward a house. The witnesses described it as about seven feet tall with long, scraggly brown hair and said they could not see its face. They were frightened and did not go back to look for tracks.

Recollection of daylight sighting as youth near Victoria

The witness and three companions were hiking on hilltops in a strip-mine area when a bellowing cow drew attention to a nearby clearing. A large white bipedal creature emerged, stopped and stared toward the witness for several seconds after the witness shouted, then turned and walked back in the direction it came from. The group ran back to their campsite and reported the sighting to adults, who did not take it seriously.
