Daylight sighting of a white-haired Bigfoot in a yard outside Lonedell

25 August 2005 mid-afternoon, between 1-3 pm Occurred In Lonedell, Nearest City I Think Is Union., Franklin County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was sitting on the front porch of a relative's trailer with a young child on a sunny mid-afternoon when a 4- to 6-foot bipedal figure covered in long white hair walked through the adjoining field into the yard. The figure walked past a short decorative fence, looked toward the witness and met her gaze, then continued around a garage out of sight during about five minutes of observation. A dog on the porch barked timidly throughout but the figure showed no reaction or aggression.
