Memory told of a daytime sighting on a farm south of Rock Falls

November 2006 late morning Rock Falls, Whiteside County, Illinois 1 witness

Account

In late morning in November 2006 the witness was walking a dog with a companion on a farm with cornfield and pine grove. The witness looked up and saw an upright honey-brown figure standing sideways with its head down, banging large rocks together. The companion did not see it, and when the witness looked back the figure was gone. The witness became frightened and asked to turn back.
