Man recalls hitting and killing a strange creature with his car near Cochran
The primary witness was driving alone at about 50 mph on a highway just after dark when a small bipedal creature ran into the road from the right. He struck it squarely with the center of his grill, knocking it to the roadside, then examined the carcass up close. The body remained overnight until a wildlife officer retrieved it early the next morning with no identification provided. Neighbors and passing motorists also viewed the carcass, which was discussed locally for years.
Memory told of possible activity while trapping in Horicon Marsh
Around 1975, the witness and a companion were returning to their vehicle after checking a trap line near Horicon Marsh. From about 80 yards away on a hilltop they heard heavy movement and smelled an overpowering rotten-egg sulphur odor. They felt a fight-or-flight response, left quickly, and stayed away from the trap line for some time.
