Account
Informant said she was in one of two cars that slowed as they went by a creature standing by the road in Lolo Pass on the Idaho Montana border. She said it was large, dark grey or grey-brown, and was standing swinging its arms back and forth "as if trying to decide which way to go", then it went striding away up a game trail on a rocky cliffside.
