Incident #992902
Foreston, Williamsburg Cty, South Carolina
May 1998
Account
Driving Hwy 521 between Andrews and Manning about midnight, saw big, dark, shhaggy form on the right side of the road. It leapt across the highway, first step landing it not quite clear of the left lane, second step into brush and out of sight. Looked a little bigger than a man, 6 to 7 feet. Before seeing anything had noticed a smell almost like gangrene. Both eyes reflected amber as it jumped, apparently looking at car.
