Class A First-hand BFRO #3483

Nighttime sighting outside farm house, west of Prairie Home (the town) near Pisgah Creek

October 1975 about 11 PM Prairie Home, Cooper County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

Late at night at a rural farmhouse, the witness got up for water and sensed a presence outside the kitchen door window. After turning on the carport light, the witness saw a very tall dark-haired figure inches away that looked at the witness before running across the carport and through a field into distant trees. The witness screamed, relatives came after hearing it, a foul odor lingered outside, and the next day a flattened trail was visible in tall grass toward the treeline.
