Vocalization near Saint Louis, Missouri (2011)
Account
During a hot spell three sober people fished a river slew at night, hearing labored breathing, smelling rotten wet-dog and septic odor, and having pebbles then a very heavy rock thrown toward them. After hearing huffs near a fallen tree they paddled out, then saw a very tall hairy figure with enormous hands cross a levee and cornfield in moonlight. They fled by truck to a gas station several miles away.
