Account
Jay Adams said he had had two sightings on Hwy 521 in the Swartswood area near Bear Swamp, once with his wife and once with his son, of a creature 8 to 9 feet tall and covered with greyish fur. The first time it jumped out on the road about 100 feet in front of the car and then scooted up the side of a hill. The second time, with his son, was a similar incident. Adams later claimed three more sightings.
