Incident #991819
Casar, Cleveland Cty, North Carolina
1978
Account
Mrs. Clayton Candler was driving home about dusk when she stopped to look at what she thought was a cow beside the road and it got up on its hind legs and walked over to the car--while she fumbled with the keys trying to drive off. This sighting was several days earlier than 1817 and 1818, but reported later. The article states that there were more than a dozen sightings within a week.
