TIME:           4:30 P.M.
 

LOCATION:   XXXX Township, Ontario
 

TERRAIN:     Wooded
 

OBSERVED:   Large brown object walking away from me along the side of the road about 300 yards ahead of my vehicle then appearing to try to jump across the ditch to enter a dense wooded area.

The creature appeared to be moving very slow along the side of the road. It's arms were very long appeared to be very thick. The approach of my vehicle made it turn around partly but I could not see any facial/frontal details although the facial area looked lighter than the rest of the body. It appeared to be at least 7 feet tall, possibly more but I could not judge the right height from my distance/location. After a few moments it turned and looked again at my vehicle then turned towards the ditch and proceeded to walk down the slope but then paused then turned slightly to look at me again. It then crouched down a bit and placed it's hands down in the snow and looked around in the bush then stood back up and jumped across the ditch. It seemed to loose it's balance after it landed and put one of it's hands down to break a fall. Once standing upright, it started to walk into the bush. I drove up a bit closer and as I approached the area I could see the creature starting to "jog" and it kept turning it's head back to look at me. I lost sight of it after a few seconds.
 

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):   I was on my way home from work in XXXXXXX, Ontario. Typical normal workday.
 

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:   Large, brown Creature, 7 foot tall, arms very long and appeared to be very thick, walking bipedally.  Facial area looked lighter than the rest of the body.
 

OTHER NOTES:   Not long before this incident (2 days prior) one of my dogs was franticaly pacing in the front of the house wanting to go outside. He was wimpering and howling and generally does not do this unless something or someone is outside.
Since it was late evening, I grabbed a flashlight and went outside with the dog. He proceeded to walk into the back of our property barking and then I heard a loud scream-howl like nothing I have ever heard before. I quickly tugged on the dog and ran back inside.
 

OTHER SIGHTINGS IN THIS AREA?:  Not that I am aware of.
