Recollection of a possible nighttime encounter on a four-wheeler near Sullivan

18 November 1989 around 10:30 pm Near Sullivan MO- Past The State Park, Right By Pea Ridge Iron Ore, Washington County, Missouri 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and two companions snuck out on a 4-wheeler into woods behind a house on a snowy night. They noticed a dead-like odor and heard monkey-like chattering, then saw a tall hair-covered biped walk toward them while growling. The group fled on the vehicle and on foot as the animal followed to within arm's reach without touching them, apparently driving them from the area.
