- “I turned to look out the driver-side window of my car, when I looked straight into the dark face of a very large, man-like, hairy creature which had hunched down to stare at us. Its shoulders were very broad, and it had no distinct neck - as if its shoulders sloped up to blend into its head...its eyes glowed faintly pale yellow in its dark face.”
