Incident #991541
Arab, Marshal Cty, Alabama
Oct 1989
Account
Barbara Demers and her nephew driving on Ruth Road saw a pair of red eyes "larger than a quarter" look up from the roadside and saw a creature stooped next to some scattered garbage. It stood up and stepped on the road, they stopped, then it stepped across the road in one pace and into the woods. Taller than their van and its swinging arms almost dragged on the ground. It had a strong odour.
