LOCATION DETAILS: Lonedell, MO
YEAR: 2005
Witness Observed: My four year old son and I were visiting my parents who lived in Lonedell, Missouri. My mother was napping, my father was at work (he helped farm there on the land–they lived in a trailer on the about 350 acres owned by their landlord).
I was sitting on the front porch with my son and my parent’s dog, Buddy. It was mid-afternoon, probably between 1 and 3 pm. I noticed something or someone walking in the field connected to the front yard coming in our direction. My first instinct was to get my baby and get inside. However, I could not help but stand in the doorway, screen door closed but the wooden door open just enough for me to peer through. Whatever that thing was, it kept coming closer to the trailer. By this time, Buddy (the dog) was timidly barking. I could tell from his bark that he was threatened but afraid. I felt bad leaving the dog out on the porch alone, but was too afraid to go out there.
The thing (for lack of a known word to call what it was that I saw)was walking, on two legs, aimlessly, not in a hurry and I could not find a reason as to why it came into the yard as it was just looking around aimlessly and leisurely walking. There was a wooden fence, mostly for decoration and only about 20 feet long, that the thing walked next to. My mother had some decorations (can’t remember what) hanging on the fence that the thing seemed to look at.
The dog barking did not startle the creature, it just kept walking.
I was absolutely astounded by what I was seeing; if not for the fact that the dog was seeing it too, I would have wondered if my eyes and/or brain was playing tricks on me. I decided to be brave and opened the screen door just enough to stick my head outside. That’s when the thing looked at me, met my gaze. I just stood there, half afraid of it’s reaction and it’s next move but more curious than anything. My heart was racing. I held my son up to look at it also, still indoors. After it looked at me and yet showed no fear I had more time to study it and I was racking my brain to identify what it was that I was seeing.
Here is the best description I can give…It was between 4-6 feet tall, walking on two legs, covered from head to toe in very long white hair. It’s face was mostly covered in white hair as well, except for it’s eyes and maybe it’s mouth. It did not have the snout like a dog, it’s shape and build was that of a human’s. I even compared it to a bear in my head, but their were not enough similarities. This thing was not very animalistic in behavior–the way it walked and looked at me were more typical of human behaviors. Yet, the way it wandered and seemed oblivious to the man-made things around it (cars, the trailer, even the fence) was more like the characteristics of an animal. I did not get the feeling that it was aggressive or wanting to cause harm. Yet, because of the size and animalistic nature of it, I knew that it was strong and could hurt me, my son, or the dog.
It began to walk around the side of the garage, out of my sight, but closer towards the end of the trailer that had the bedroom my mom was napping in. I ran down into the bedroom and began frantically looking out the windows searching to see where it had gone. i woke my mother up in my tizzy and quickly told her what I had seen and I wanted her to look. She was still half-asleep and slow to process what I was saying. I did not see where it went from there. I could not locate it through the windows and I was much too afraid to go outside and look.

Is the dog ok?

Between 4 to 6 feet tall? In other words it was between the height of a 7 year old child and an adult… please…
Mike B
Please?please what?

I thought the discrepancy in height range was weird too! Perhaps she cannot visualize the difference between 4 & 6 feet. I felt bad for the pooch!
Robert P
I don’t know if saw something that weird if could judge it height. I used to think stuff like that was the brain playing tricks but now with the Missing 411 cases I think paranormal

I’m guessing here, perhaps this was an elder Sasquatch of 80
or more in years. Older animals seem to take it easy so to speak.
Much like what the witness had seen.

I too thought the “between 4-6 feet” a bit odd, but then again, maybe not. She was seeing something so unusual, but yet felt it could cause harm. Maybe it was old or mentally challenged and the other BFs shunned it and ran it out of the unit (what does one call a group of BF: a herd, gaggle, pod?). And maybe because of it’s standout white color the others wanted rid if it? The way it was wandering around in broad daylight and acting a bit addled, makes it sound not all there. Poor BF!

That’s only 35 miles from my house!

SHE LEFT THAT POOR DOG OUTSIDE FOR SASQUATCH TO EAT.

Have you or anyone herd of The Creakers?

Actually, it sounds like a young one. Kids tend to wander when the parents don’t want them in their hair I bet, like people.
