May 1983, Kinderhook, NY (Columbia County) 5:30 - 6:00 pm.At the corner of Rt. 203 and State Farm Rd.My daughter and I were making a right hand turn at the cow pasture of Rt 203 and State Farm Rd. in Valatie when we saw a large (7 feet at least), hairy man-like creature. He was getting up from what appeared to be from a crouching position to a standing position. I stopped the car suddenly. It glanced our way and then took off in the oppositite direction through the cow pasture. The entire incident took less than 5 minutes.The creature's hair color was light brown. The hair covered his face except for his eyes and mouth. Joyce Gifford2 Spruce RunE. Greenbush, NY 12061
