Incident #1000457
Weed, Siskiyou Cty, California
Jun 1956
Account
Writer (he she?) stopped for a rest about 3 a.m. driving from Weed to Macdoel, and while sitting on the fender heard someone walking down the middle of the road, so got in the car and turned on the lights. Looked like a human in costume, but too big. Stood there a minute, then a couple of steps towards car, stood another minute, then jumped off the road.
