Witness Account:
On 4/27/2012 around 9PM, I left my house to go to work. After 2.5 miles of starting out there is a stretch of road and I seen a blur at first until it appeared in my headlights. I knew right off it wasn't human. It took about 3 steps to cross the road and its arms was swinging well past its knees. Its head turned to look at me as it left the road and his eyes were blood red. It was very tall. around 7.5 ft. very broad across the shoulders. as I slowly passed and watched it fade away in the woods I noticed it had a wide grey stripe that blended within his coat, looked elderley. I didn't call 911 because how they would probably treat such a call. I don't know if any other sighting on this thing has ever been reported. I was always a skeptic till that night. Not now..this thing was a beast!
Physical evidence:
Visual proof only
Additional observations:
Red eyes, and wide grey stripe down his back.
