Students have a sighting at dusk close to their university in Madison
Account
Three students walking near a lakeshore at dusk saw a tall, dark-haired biped about 100 feet away by bushes at the shoreline. They stopped and watched as it picked at vegetation, then made a purring sound that turned into a growl. The creature then walked on two legs into nearby woods making loud crunching noises, while the witnesses remained frightened.
