Allan Skrumeda and Allan Pfeil were driving on Rd. 327, two miles west of the Hwy 6 junction when Skrumeda saw a huge upright creature walking with its back to the car on the road 100 feet ahead. He braked and skidded, it stepped in front of the car and turned to face it, then as he skidded sideways on the icy road it leaped across the road, through a ditch and was gone in heavy brush.
