John Beckjord was driving South on Chief Martin Road approaching the garbage dump about 4.30 p.m. when he saw in the right lane of the road about 200 feet ahead a black, humanlike figure about 5-6 ft, skinny, with long arms. It capered about a bit then crossed the road and disappeared in the bush. There was an animal trail there, but no tracks.
