Motorist sighting on Hwy 169 between Paola and Osawatomie
Account
The witness was driving home late at night when headlights revealed a tall, light-colored upright creature crossing the road. The creature kept moving across open fields and stepped over a roughly four-foot fence without breaking stride, remaining upright and moving quickly. The witness was badly frightened and felt it was not any known local animal.
