I had spent the weekend visiting my kids in Ashland and was returning home to Redmond. I was traveling on a very straight section of 138 East of the pass when I saw a large very dark humanoid figure appear out of the woods and very quickly run (great strides) across the roadway and disappear into the woods to the south before I could get even to it. It was maybe 50 yards ahead at first sight. Though it was clear, it appeared to be shadowed from head to foot.

ALSO NOTICED: Goose bumps!

OTHER WITNESSES: I was alone.

OTHER STORIES: I just read of a sighting nearby recently where a hunter was screamed at.

As described by the eye witness, the creature walked at an accelerated pace across the highway without actually running. It appeared black from head to toe.
