Trail cam photo of a bigfoot recorded in Poplar Bluff on private land

The witness received a motion alert from a cellular trail camera overlooking a creek and saw a single large brown-and-black bipedal figure standing in the water about 100 feet away. A live view checked seconds later showed the figure was gone, and an evening search found no footprints. Comparison photos with a 6-foot relative standing at the same spot suggested the figure was several feet taller and two to three times wider.

They heard something moving toward them and fled to a moonlit clearing where they saw a bipedal creature they first called a bear.

In later years they found broken trees and footprints they attributed to the same creature.
