Incident #992871
Warsaw, Kosciusko Cty, Indiana
late 1970's
Account
Perdue grad, then in high school, and friend were walking on a dirt road on his parents farm near Warsaw. They came over a rise and saw a 7 to 8-foot, black biped walking fast along the border of a corn field, arms swinging. At the end of the corn it yanked a cornstalk out of the ground and carried it as it entered the woods. (Says a commercial corn plant can't be pulled out of the ground with one hand by a human.) Came back on horseback but decided against entering woods. Dog did, but rushed back with tail between legs, and a a minute later a loud crash was heard in the woods. They left.
