Man has nighttime sighting of creature walking across his property

March 2018 around 9:30pm, very dark, for hours Loogootee, Martin County, Indiana 2 witnesses

Account

Over several months, a couple at a rural home report nightly sounds including knocks, whistles, calls and footsteps, along with missing poultry, cats and a displaced ball. About one to two months ago, the husband witness saw a tall, hair-covered biped walk past their trailer and behind it, disappearing in under ten seconds. The couple report feeling scared to go outside and believe more than one creature may be in the area near caves.
