Driver sees running figure along road at night near Woodlake

The witness and companion were driving north at night when they saw a tall, silvery-white bipedal figure running south along the woods edge, then turning east into dense woods about fifteen feet away during a roughly three-second view. The figure was described as slender and athletic, about seven feet tall, with flowing hair on the arms and fast, graceful movement. The next morning they found 20 to 30 tracks of two sizes with visible toes in soft muddy ground nearby, but no photos were taken and rain likely washed the tracks away.

Early morning sighting by resident along Highway 7 near Bismarck

On a clear cool morning the witness stood on his property after hearing dogs bark and watched a large dark hairy animal moving east along a fence row about 50 yards away.

He later searched for tracks but found none because the ground was too brushy.
