Partial sighting in Missouri
Account
The witness was fishing for trout in a creek at dusk when he noticed a hairy mass downstream feeding. After moving closer, the animal rose onto two legs, dropped to all fours to climb a steep sandy hill, then resumed bipedal running and disappeared. He chased briefly but could not identify it and remains unsure whether it was a bear.
