Account
Driving North on U.S. 27, 10 miles South of Harrison, 7 to 7.30 p.m., Abby Matthews and Nicholas Zurawic saw three figures running from the dense forest across the freeway about 300 yards ahead of them. Getting closer, realized their motion was very agile and fluid, with tremendous strides. The first one was somewhat larger than the others, and cleared the expressway pavement in three strides. They went up the median hill and out of sight over the crest. Very powerful build, weight extimated 300 to 500 pounds. They ran about 15 feet apart.
