Incident #992926
Waynseville, Pulaski Cty, Missouri
1988 to 1989
Account
Steve and Christi Moore were driving to Waynesville about 7 p.m. on Hwy 17, and on a stretch between a blasted bluff and the Roubidoux Creek/Gasconade River, rounded a corner and saw a 7 to 8-foot hair-covered creature standing 'frozen' in the middle of the road. Another car was coming the other way and both stopped, with the creature left standing between them, illuminated by both sets of taillights. It stook for about 30 seconds, then leaped off the roadway and into the river. Both cars drove on. (Not certain that it actually entered the water).
