Account
Woman reported to sheriff's department that when driving to work in Great Falls at 5:30 a.m. on Interstate 15 she saw a hairy crature, 7 to 8 feet tall, very wide shoulders, walking along the highway upright. She had to change lanes to pass it, then stopped and watched for three or four minutes as it walked away. Wolverton talked to her and the area was checked for tracks, but ground was too hard.
