James Thompson was driving to his home in heavy woods at 1 a.m. after a basketball game when he saw an animal 7.5 to 8 feet tall, dark in colour, with long arms hanging almost to its knees. Called friends on CB radio, who drove to the area and saw the creature about a quarter mile from where Thompson saw it.
