Incident #992786
Prospect, Butler Cty, Pennsylvania
1977
Account
Driving at midnight, going up steep grade, saw animal come onto road walking upright. Stopped, creature walked slowly through headlight beams, ignoring car. No size given, but "just like the pictures on your website." At first thought it was an upright bear. Five years later her mother saw tracks in a replanted strip mine. No size or description, but Charlene's brother, with whom she no longer speaks, may have a cast.
