Cryptid sighting near Bell County
Account
The witness driving back at night from Bell County saw something laying in the road that got up and scurried off rather than running on two legs. The first thought was a giant anteater because of a long nose and tail and fur described as four to six inches long. The witness noted it was on a major thoroughfare and remained unsure what it was.
