Witness Account:
I was with a friend and her daughter who was asleep in the back seat of the car. We were coming back from Oklahoma and had been driving on 730 going south towards Decatur. We were in an area where the fields had been plowed but were bare. The moon was shining almost bright enough to have driven without any headlights on. From a far distance I could see this object standing on the side of the road and as we got closer it was very obvious that it was at least 7 foot tall or more. It was white with lots of curly hair on its chest. It was standing just outside of the limits of the headlights in the ditch on the north bound lane. We both said as we passed it "What was that?" I was driving and I slammed on my breaks and looked for a place to turn around and did as fast as I could. But when we got back to the place we had seen the animal it was gone and we could not see it anywhere. The fields were empty and the tree line was a long distance away. We looked for the animal for some time then we gave up. We were both nervous and on edge and said nothing for almost 10 miles and when we did start talking it was a ramble of "What the heck was it...Bigfoot I said and she said I thought the same thing but surely it wasn't, but what else could it be?" What is that tall with all that hair and could run so fast it could disappear in a matters of seconds. This was the scariest time we ever had coming home from Oklahoma.
