Woman recalls a very close encounter as a child on a farm near the Mark Twain National Forest

The witness was walking home along a gravel road through a wooded hollow at dusk when a presence alongside proved to be a very tall, hairy creature standing within arm's reach. The witness looked up at its body and face, then walked slowly toward home while it remained nearby. At the home driveway the creature paused by a cedar tree, watched, then left into the forest in a few strides, after which the witness cried out and a relative searched the area.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
