Class A First-hand BFRO #38440

Woman driving at night hits a man-like animal near Mayetta

October 2012 1:30 am Mayetta KS, Jackson County, Kansas 1 witness

Account

Late at night the witness was driving home on a dirt road while on the phone. A tall hairy biped ran from right to left across the road and was struck by the left front bumper, cracking it, but continued without slowing. The witness turned back and found nothing at the scene except a strong foul odor. She described the creature as much larger than an adult man, with short brownish-red hair, a large head and very long massive arms, without seeing its face.
