Incident #992884
Reevesville, Johnson Cty, Illinois
Oct 1989
Account
Two girls and two boys, about 15, hiked to an abandoned cabin in wooded hills at night. Jennifer Rigsby was inside the cabin when the other three rushed in saying that they had heard something moving in the woods and then a 7', dark creature, sort of hunched over, ran across the trail. They all left.
