Incident #993036
Osceola, St. Clair Cty, Missouri
Jul 1982
Account
Trying to follow abandoned trail between two Scout camps, J.A. and friend saw two 6-foot, brown-furred creatures burst out of trees 100 feet ahead and run over large rocks, fallen trees, thick underbrush, down log-filled embankment, jump across a 10-foot stream, scramble up and disappear in forest. Swung arms like hurdlers. Appeared to be racing. All much too fast for human.
