Witness Account:
I had just got done fishing in a private pond with some friends, we were packing up to go home, when I saw a dark figures on the dirt road, at first I just glanced at it and thought it was a loose cow,then I looked closer and watched it , something didnt look right,then it turnd sideways and took a step, I knew it was something else, I yelled what the hell is that!!!, and pointed at it,it paused for a second and looked at us and took off runing and jumped, or more like dove over a fence.then I took off running toward where it dove over the fence to try and see it again. When I got to the spot, I stopped and listenend , I could hear it running, I focused where the sounds were coming from,and there was a couple of openings in the woods,where I saw it run past, I cant believe the way this thing moved, like a big ninja, theres no way it was a person in a suit, it had to be runing at least 20 to 25mph.
Physical evidence:
never looked
Additional observations:
sun was just going douwn, still had enough light to see it, it wasnt that tall prob 6 foot but wide and hunched over
