Memory told of a nighttime highway crossing near Stewardson

The witness and a companion were driving at night when a tall greyish bipedal figure ran from one cornfield across the highway into another cornfield about 30 yards ahead of them. It crossed ditches and the road in a few strides with its arms swinging at its sides. They slowed but could see little in the dark, and a next-day search found no sign because the corn on both sides had been harvested that morning.

Boy has several late night encounters near Sidney

While driving home at night with two relatives, the witness saw a large hairy figure on hands and knees chasing a small animal across the road in the headlights. As the car closed to about 15 to 20 feet, the figure stood upright to about six and a half to seven feet tall and walked quickly off the road in two steps. The group drove home quickly and a relative dismissed it as a large dog, which the witness rejected.
