October 1975

I spoke with the witness by phone. In summary: ' The animal was 7 feet tall. ' The animal was very hairy and beefy in appearance. ' The hair was dark brown. ' The animal was very close to the car, perhaps 30 feet. ' The animal was very well lit by the headlights of the vehicle. ' The animal as it came out of the ditch was initially on all fours and then stood up on two legs and walked away. ' Although there are no large woods in the immediate area there are wooded creeks. ' The waterway is known as the Upper Salt Fork Drainage Ditch.
