Nov 1994
Account
Ken Starchuck was driving to work at 7.40 a.m., just getting light, at Balfour saw a black figure on the road. It took four paces to cross the highway and go up the bank into the trees, turned and looked at the car, then stepped out of sight. One step took it from the side of the pavement almost to the center.
