Length of time the encounter lasted: 10 minutes and 1-2 minutes

The first encounter: I
had left my house around 10:30PM To go pick up a friend from his house in Germantown.
I was traveling north with three other friends in the vehicle on Clyde T. Barbour
Highway. I had turned left onto KY 435 and drove to my friends house in Germantown.
I picked him up and decided to go the same way that I had went to pick him up.
There was three people in the backseat and someone in the front of my car. We
had turned the car around a right turn traveling at around 20 mph. As i turned
the corner there is a 2 story farmhouse on my right and on the same side about
30 feet to the side of the house was a very small garden with tall weeds on
the side of the road. On the other side is a drop anywhere from 10-15 feet.
As I drove I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a large dog on the side
of the road, so I slowed the car to let it run across the road without me hitting
it. I turned on my brights to scare it from it's position as I slowed to around
5 to 8 mph. It moved slightly as someone in the backseat had asked "What
is that?", I then replied "I think it might be a dog...". the
eyes glowed red from the high-beams and moved a little to it's right. This so-called
dog had a blackish fur on the shoulder area. As I pulled closer I stoped the
car put it in reverse and turned the car to face the animal. My lights now fully
caught the animal still hiding in the weeds which were around 3 feet in hieght.
I pushed the horn and it stood on two legs at a height of around 6 to 7 feet
tall. All of my friends then started screaming questions asking "WHAT THE
HELL IS THAT!?". As everone in the car was screaming I had already put
the car into drive and pealed the tires to get away. One of my friends then
turned in his seat looking through the back window as I looked through the rear-view
mirror seeing in the moonlight this animal run into the field towards the forest.
The
second encounter: The second encounter was on Clyde T. Barbour Highway
going Southbound towards home. Me and my brother were making our way home from
Aberdeen Ohio. I was driving and it was a clear night with the moon out bright,
I was driving around 55-60 mph up the highway hill. I had just passed KY 435
and the same spot from the last encounter when I scanned the highway in a daze
and looked up at the hill where they had used dynomite when they were building
the highway to blow the hillside out for the pavement. I looked at the hillside
at the limestone and caught a glimps of a rather tall animal with blackish fur
running with my car. I pointed at the beast which apparently been running on
two legs and asked my brother "What is that?" as we moved on still
watching the animal it jumped from the hill and landed in some trees and dissapeared.
Describe
the creature with detail: Tall around 6 1/2 - 7 feet. It stood and
walked/ran on two legs with arms reaching it's pelvis. Black fur and red eyes
in bright headlights. Large body possibly 3 1/2 feet wide, with stringy hair
longer on the shoulders that looked like it was wet.
Additional Info: I heard nothing from the car engine and the
radio and my friends talking.
Follow-up
Report: Waiting for a response from the witness.

Chicago Sun Times -10-12-80 reports another door shaker alarms the Fulton family
in the middle of the night. Upon looking outside Mr. Fulton is staggered to
see a 7' tall creature covered in long white hair looking back at him with glowing
pink colored eyes. Fulton fired upon it twice as it made its escape, but to
no effect. He described it as weighing about 400lbs and having long hair about
its head which resembled a horse's mane.
