Multiple witness road-crossing sighting near Nine Eagles State Park

June 2000 night Davis City, Decatur County, Iowa 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home at night with two other occupants in the car after a ball game. With high beams on, the witness saw a large shiny black furry figure walking upright as it quickly crossed the road. The witness did not stop and did not tell the other occupants at the time, so they did not see it.
