Tim Houser and and John Fitzwater driving on old dirt road 1.5 miles West of Dean, just West of the Charlton River, saw large apelike creature walking away down the road. When lights hit it it dashed into the ditch then into heavy brush. Jerry Guinn went back with them, and they found where something had gone through the brush, and tracks with mud oozed up through the toe spaces.
