Account
Pat Farley and Jerry Paradiso were driving on Hwy 89 five miles East of Quincy at 12.15 a.m. when they saw a creature dart across the highway from the side of the road. It was man-sized, hair covered, hunched over, with a long gait and its arms swinging. It had a rounded, humanlike head, with no snout. The called the sheriff's office, but deputies found nothing at the scene. A quarter hour earlier two other men saw a similar, but much larger creature at approximately the same place. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
