Incident #992772
Waynesville, Pulaski Cty, Missouri
1988 to 1989
Account
About 7 p.m. driving South on Hwy.17, just before entering Waynesville, rounded a corner and saw a 7 to 8-foot thing standing in the middle of the road. S. and C.M. stopped after passing and a car going the other way did the same, leaving it illuminated by close tail lights. It stood still for about 230 seconds, then leaped off the roadway into Roubidoux Creek. Incident took place just short of where the creek runs into the Gasconade River. There are woods above the road, which has a high, steep cutbank, and farms across the creekd/river.
