Atv riders hear daytime vocalization and find tracks near Keokuk
Account
The witness and two young relatives were riding three-wheelers by a creek and had dismounted to walk through woods when they encountered a strong sewage-like odor followed by a loud guttural roar. Frightened, they left their vehicles and ran uphill to the family residence. Family members who returned to the site with them still noticed the odor but found no source.
