A dark figure in James City County, Virginia
My two boys, ex-husband, and I were heading back to our hotel from dinner in Williamsburg, on the evening of October 22, 2020. I took a left turn onto E Rochambeau Dr., which parallels interstate 64. It was a clear night, dark and around 8:55pm. I know that it was after 8:50 pm and before 9:00pm, because I was hoping to get back to watch the 9 pm debate. My son made a comment about my speed, and I pointed out a 55 mph speed limit sign, as we passed it. I rounded a corner and saw a brief small glitter, which lead my eye to see movement. I quickly could tell that it was an upright, bi-pedal figure. As it walked quickly from right to left, I immediately could see that it walked like a human, but it was extremely broad and huge. The arms and upper thighs were so big that I could see the outline of muscles. The figure was blacker than black, almost looking like an enormous shadow figure, but solid. My lights only revealed blackness, no clothes, just one solid figure. I could see from the middle of the face and most of the legs. I saw no features, as it was walking, only showing it's side to me. It moved smoothly and quickly. I could not see it's feet, or the top of the head. It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to say look, to my family who was with me. As soon as it stepped of the side, I immediately said, "What was that?!". I was curious to where it went, and as I passed the area, I could see that it went into the woods. There were no cars, people or anyone else on the road. There was one house a little further down the road that had a front porch light on. I keep trying to understand the distance from my car to the area it walked in the woods, trying to understand the height. What I saw was huge, no way could any human be as huge, tall, and broad as this. Again it was black, so black, and my lights didn't reveal details which is odd. My children were completely freaked out, so I did not stop. I've returned twice to the area to look at the road and surroundings.
