BFRO #9842: Man Sees Large Animal By Roadside

📍 Location

📝 Description

Amherst County, VA US 60 100 yds. west of state route 778 approx 10:pm Dec. 7, 2003.I had passed that point about an hour earlier and the area was loaded with deer. Had to slow way down to avoid a collision. There were at least 8 there at 9:pm.I was taking my sons, who are in the Nat'l Guard back to the University after their "drill." (They are now at Ft.Dix being retrained for an all-expense paid trip to Iraq.) On the way back Eastbound down the mountain after delivering my sons back to their dorm (their car was off-line), I slowed way down as I approached the area. I looked carefully to avoid any animal contactIn the brights, as I looked right I saw a yellow reflection first. As I got closer, I saw the top part of an obviously large creature.Its arms were spread out to either side. I could see hair hanging from the arms. The elbows were bent slightly. The head appeared flat-faced, huge and slightly higher at the rear. The shoulders were broad. The color was dark. A slight sulfurous odor was detected.The steep bank hid most of the creature. It was perfectly still. I almost felt it thought it was not visible to passing vehicles.I went back to the area about 10 days later and saw some scuff marks on the bank side. This area is criss-crossed by many deep ravines and creeks. After discovering your great sight, my interest was pricked. I've hesitated to turn this one in because it was so fleeting.
