Dec 1975
Account
Four witneses in car Eastbound on I 80 in slow lane, 7.30 p.m., dark and pouring rain, saw cars ahead braking and swerving, then saw figure running in the median, much faster than a man could. Getting closer they saw it was about 7 feet tall and covered with black hair. It suddenly swerved to the right and ran in front of their car, almost getting hit. Eyes locked as it looked in the windshield. It looked scared. Then ran towards an entrance ramp, bounced off the side of a camper, towards the rear, went behind it and up a 50% grade. (Presume on hillside beside road) State patrol and sheriff contacted.
