Tracks near Audrey County (1983)

August 1983 Audrey County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

As a boy the witness and his cousin left a catfish in his grandparents' creek and found it gone the next day with muddied water and two large bare human-like footprints nearby. A short time later while sitting alone on a swing set he watched a reddish-brown creature part bushes about 50 yards away and stare at him for about a minute, moving its mouth, before backing away.
