Possible mid-day sighting by motorist on Hwy 465 outside Branson
The witness was driving west on a highway in Taney County, Missouri on a sunny afternoon when he noticed a large black biped standing by a large tree about 50 yards from the road. He described it as at least nine feet tall and very wide, with long thick fur and a conical head set tight to the shoulders, and was certain it was not a bear. He drove back the next day, saw nothing, and took the absence as confirmation the figure had been real.

No further screams occurred and the dogs stayed agitated for 10-15 minutes. The couple decided not to call emergency services.
