Grandmother has a possible night time sighting from her home in the city of Nevada

22 February 2012 7:30pm Nevada, Vernon County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

The witness was waiting at home for grandchildren to return when she saw a large dark bipedal figure crossing an open field and heading out of town. She estimated its height from nearby trees and heard it roar and bang trash bins or dumpsters as it moved southwest behind houses and a store. Dogs and coyotes howled as it continued toward a racetrack and treed creek area.
