Incident #992516
Torrance, Westmoreland Cty, Pennsylvania
Mar 1988
Account
Bob Bronson was driving on a back road in Gray Station about 1 a.m., when at the bottom of a steep grade a deer ran across the road into a wooded area on his left, followed by another, which was followed by a 7 to 8-foot biped covered with long black hair. (It is described as "erect-walking") but it must have been running, otherwise the deer would have had to pass it.) He stopped and opened the window, peering into the darkness. Could see nothing but smelled a strange musty odour. Although he saw it only in profile he noted bright red glowing eyes.
