A man gathering firewood for his campsite with his ATV encounters a large ape-like animal in a creek bed

While camping, the witness rode an ATV to the back of a farm to gather firewood and noticed a strong odor near a creek. There they saw a large ape- or bear-like creature in a squatting position that made eye contact for about 30 seconds before jumping up an 8-foot bank and running away. The witness returned to camp, then revisited the site with a companion that evening and again the next morning, but flooding prevented finding footprints.

Family hears strange screams off Highway 54

The witness was mushroom hunting with relatives in a heavily wooded hollow when the group noticed a horrible smell with no apparent source. They returned to the car, and shortly after heard a loud scream that was compared to a panther scream. The group did not investigate and left quickly, in the context of known local Mo Mo sightings.

Creature seen stepping over four foot barbed wire fence near the town of Louisiana

The witness was walking alone east along a rural road at dusk when a strong foul odor appeared and a tall figure was seen at the edge of a pasture. The figure watched the witness, matched movements, and approached, then chased the witness who fled to a farmhouse porch. The creature eventually left toward the pasture with farm dogs chasing it, and the witness hid until a companion arrived.
