Account
Miss M.B. (Steiger-Writenour version) changing a tire on a lonely stretch of Hwy 91 outside Brooksville heard a noise in the bushes and smelled an unpleasant odour, then a huge creature stood up beside the road and studied her. Another car came and it walked off into the woods. Keel refers to large green eyes and "an eerie greenish glow on one side of its hairy torso.
