I slow down as i come up behind him. He stood about 9 to 10 feet tall with almost like a dark fur coat. He slowly turns his head and he had the evilest yellow eyes I have ever seen. By this time my younger sisters are in the back seat screaming and crying saying don’t stop Ernie. I proceed to lock the doors and speed off. To this day we all have the same story.

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Carter Buschardt:
The witness and I spoke via phone. He was excited and thankful to finally tell his story. He and his three sisters discuss it every time they are reminded of the event by the mention of a report or sighting.
He was driving his sisters back from a family visit between 10-11 pm on a country road back in 2001. Older sister was in the front and 2 younger ones in the back. He was driving down an unlit road about 40 mph or so. When he first saw the creature it was about 125-150 feet away. The creature was walking same direction and was on the drivers side of the car. (Other side of the road). And I clarified this with him as I am writing the report. He clarified with his sisters last night.
He started slowing down immediately. He was going no more than 5 miles an hour and told his 2 younger sisters in the back seat to get down and lay flat. He is pretty sure they didn’t do it right away even though they were frightened.
The creature made eye for only a second. It kept the casual walk and made no effort to run or alter his path. Color was a dark brown, not black.
