Two Boys witness a tree pushed into a river by a human-like being while fishing near Grassy

27 July 2012 about 10-11 at night Grassy, Bollinger County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

Two boys were gigging for fish in a shallow river at night when they heard splashing from objects thrown into the water. They shone flashlights across the river and saw an upright human-like creature bring down a dead tree into the river and move in the water. The boys fled to their cabin, and a tree not present the day before was seen in the river the next morning.
