Man hears multiple moans and sees a gray creature outside of Bloomington

16 March 2009 between 10PM and 2AM Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion arrived at a house at night and heard repeated loud moans. After the witness called back, nearby trees shook and dogs barked in succession. A grayish two-legged figure then ran quickly across a field with long strides and dropped behind vegetation. Shortly after, metal clanking was heard and lawn furniture was found displaced.
