Two witnesses were driving to a nearby town in West Virginia on a well-traveled road when they noticed a strange creature on the side of the highway that looked away from them. 

The "animal" looked like a strange mixture of a deer and a bear. In total, it was about six and a half feet tall. It had very long, very thin legs that seemed almost unsteady, and its entire torso, neck, and head were covered with very long black fur. However, his legs were missing (they couldn't see his legs because of the two-inch (5.08 cm) grass). The creature turned to look at them before they left. He had large red eyes. The muzzle is long and thin, with a cat-like nose, and the ears are not visible.
