May 2021 oh

My son and I had just finished watching the sunset on the Blue Ridge Parkway at the Masonic marker. We were still sitting there watching the overview as a fog was rolling in. It was getting very cold so we got into the car, cranked the car up and started to back up and leave when a very dark large figure ran across the road into the woods. It looked man like. I turned towards the figure but couldn't see anything. It was entirely too large to be a black bear and definitely wasn't an elk. I haven't seen any at all this weekend. The figure was very black. The hairs on my arm and back of my neck stood up straight I have never in my life been so afraid.
