Your creature sighting in your own words: “It was daytime, and my mom was driving my siblings and me down the winding mountain road into the city. On one side of the road was a sheer dropoff. On the other was an icy cliff with a pile of hard, icy snow at the base, barely cleared off the road. Our tires skidded on a patch of black ice, and the car started sliding uncontrollably. With only two choices, my mom veered the car towards the cliff so we wouldn't go over the edge of the drop-off.
Our car finally came to a jarring halt with its front end lodged in the icy snow. My mom tried backing us out, but nothing worked. We got out to take in the situation, but our front tires were stuck, and we had nothing to dig through the hard snow with. The air was so frigid we were forced to get back in the car.
There were no other cars on the road. A man appeared out of nowhere and, without speaking to us, dug our car free with his bare hands. Then, before we could even thank him, he vanished.”
