TIME:  Around 11:00 pm

LOCATION:    New York, Albany County, The Colonie Golf Course. Consaul Rd.

TERRAIN:   Wooded

OBSERVED:   Well, I had just come back from the store, and was driving down Consaul road, when I pulled over to grab a snack. Then, after ripping the wrapper off of the candy bar, I rolled down my window to throw it out; as I did so, I heard this screeching yell, that scared the crap out of me. I opened my truck door to see who or what the hell made the noise. My first impression was that a group of kids were playing a trick on me. I was ready to start dealing out some harsh words, when suddenly, this THING, walks in front of my truck's high beams!!!!
It was at least 7 feet tall, and was covered from head to toe with black hair. It stared at me like a deer in headlights until a oncoming car made it move as fast as lightning, to the opposite side of the road. It covered a wide road in less that at least 3 seconds!! The car that was coming was actually a police officer, which pulled over alongside me to see why I had pulled over. I casually explained that I needed to refill my windshield fluid.
 
After he left, I crossed the road, and tried to see what I could find, but I only found a couple of BIG footprints. Judging from my shoe size, they were at least 17 or 18 inches in length. That night, I got home with a dizzy feeling, and a good story.

I stopped my truck by the side of the road and trailed the same path, but I didn't see or hear anything else.
