Nighttime sighting at City Lake Park outside Sullivan

15 October 2009 around 11, 11 20 PM Sullivan, Crawford County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

The witness was walking at night along a road by City Lake Park when he saw a tall, thin, hairy figure about 70 to 100 feet ahead pass under a park light. He described it as about 7 feet tall with long legs and ape-like hairy arms with several inches of hanging hair. Frightened, he turned back toward town. He says he walks there almost every evening and had never seen anything similar.
