Large unknown animal on all fours seen crossing a road near Patterson

About 50 yards ahead, a large dark hairy figure emerged from the treeline on the left and crossed the road diagonally on all fours.

15 November 1991 Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri Class B #24767

Motorist recalls possible early morning sighting north of Mt. Vernon

Around 1991 or 1992, the witness was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when an animal on all fours ran across the road and she braked to barely miss it. In a few seconds she noted its body was level rather than sloped, its legs were distinct without belly skin, and its lighter-colored hairless-looking face without a snout turned sideways to look at her. She heard nothing because the radio was on, and found no sign at the site the next day.

Winter 1980 Oronogo, Jasper County, Missouri Class B #14467

Pre-dawn road-crossing sighting by motorists outside Oronogo

In 1980 the witness was driving with a relative in the early morning to catch a bus for a trip when a brown, hairy form crossed their path near a small wooden bridge over a creek. The witness reported seeing only from the foot to the ankle in dim car lights while the companion reported seeing up to the knee, and the form crossed in about three strides. Both occupants were awestruck and left quickly without further observation.
