WITNESS NARRATIVE:
" This past October I was walking along Mattox Dr, by City Lake Park in Sullivan Missouri. It was around 11 or 11:20 PM on a Thursday night and the park is remote and empty on a night like that. I am 29 and stand 6 foot 6 inches. My vision is 15/20 in my left eye, better than normal.
As I came around the curb and had the National Reserve, Meramec State Park to my right. As I looked ahead some 70 to 100 feet and I saw this tall monkey with long legs go by under one of the lights. I immediately looked to my right at the three line as fear overwhelmed my body. I turned around, pacing myself back towards town, trying to make sense of what I saw.
It stood about 7 feet, and it was hairy, the hair of the arms was hanging, it was the only part of the silhouette that was clearly hairy and I could notice clearly that it had ape like hairy arms.
I know that is hard to believe what I saw and I myself was a skeptic of this phenomenon, until it happened to me. Now I know that the creature in cause exists."
