Something walking upright in Jackson County, Wisconsin

I work up to 2 a.m. in the morning. I drive home on Hwy K that goes threw some good wooded area near Hatfield WI. Anyway there are some sharp turns and you can't drive too fast on this Highway. As I was coming down the road I saw a dark figure half in the road crossing into the other lane. My head lights had hit about half way up it's body. I first thought it could be a deer, but deers are light brown and this was a dark brown. It was walking upright. On two legs. As my van was getting closer the head lights was moving up it's body I could see more that it was walking. Now it was in the ditch and went into the tree line. As I said it was 2:15 at night and I was alone. I wasn't going to stop or slow down.

What stood out: something walking uprighta dark figure
