Apr 1975
Account
Peter Hronek told police that he ran into a 7-foot creature standing on two legs while he was driving 50 miles an hour in a light sports car, knocking the creature down. It got up, screamed and ran off into the woods. The car was badly damaged, and there was hair and skin on the bumper. Police had hair analyzed and said it was bovine, but Hronek insists he hit a biped.
