A Pennsylvania man is driving on a rural road between York and Harrisburg when he encounters a hunched-over hairy creature in the middle of the road in front of him.
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. Your post on Duendes and other little people reminds me of a family friend's encounter. I've told this story a million times but you said you wanted to know if anyone has had similar stories. It happened to my dad's best friend. He's a friendly, down-to-earth sort of guy and I've never heard him talk about anything paranormal before or since he told us this.
So, Jerry was driving from York, Pennsylvania to Harrisburg (Old York Rd). He was taking a back road bordered on both sides by super-tall pines and spruce trees. It was dusk, the type of dusk right before it gets completely dark, and even with headlights, things are hard to see.
As he's driving, up ahead he saw what he initially thought was a child walking in the center of the road. It had its back to him so he sped up to get closer. As he neared it, he noticed the child had a weird, lurching walk as if one of its legs were twisted or injured. Its arms were brought up in front of it almost the way a kangaroo holds its arms when it hops. When Jerry was neck and neck with it, he immediately realized that it wasn't a child but some sort of creature covered in thick red hair or fur. The creature didn't stop or turn or even seem to acknowledge the car, it kept going in that weird lurching walk.
By this point, it was totally dark out. No other cars had passed during this whole incident and Jerry was completely freaked out. He said he felt wrong. Like everything just felt so wrong and his instincts told him to GO! So he slammed his foot on the accelerator and sped out of there.
I was pretty young when he told me and my family this (I think he said it happened in the late 1980s) and I remember I had nightmares for weeks afterward. Unknown creatures like that really scared me. Ghosts are one thing, but any kind of creepy cryptid-type thing is quite another. I'm always hyper-aware whenever I'm out driving on back roads in the middle of the night now." K
NOTE: Was it a juvenile Bigfoot? Lon
