27 November 2021 10:30 PM Chandlerville, Cass County, Illinois 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness was driving north on a highway through farmland. A very large, black-haired biped ran across the road from left to right in about two seconds, covering the lanes in two leaps. The figure appeared hunched forward with long arms swinging low, briefly turned its head toward the driver, then disappeared into an open field.
