Feeling threatened, they backed out while the witness held a handgun, and a next-morning search found neither deer nor tracks.

Woman recalls daylight sighting while driving and a possible incident at a home east of Gaylord

The witness was driving home from work on a secluded dirt back road on a sunny summer afternoon. From the car she saw a huge dark upright figure running bipedally through thick swamp beside the road, with a very thick upper torso and swinging arms, moving faster than a person or bear could. She heard a loud branch crack, glanced at the road, and when she looked back the figure was gone, so she continued home fearing another encounter.
