Motorist sighting on Hwy 169 between Paola and Osawatomie witnessed in Miami County, Kansas

Open Map

I was headed home from work at around 11pm or later. I remember it was a bit on the cool side. I believe it was late fall or early winter. I was not far from the old sanitation department off the highway when I caught with my headlights a large upright creature that straddled the fence without missing a beat. The fence was near a ditch and the fence was still about 4 feet high. The closest homes were only about a half mile down the road. This was mostly intersecting fields. A blonde bigfoot is the closest I can get to describing what I saw that night. It made me so scared that it took hours to calm down when getting back to an empty house. I grew up on the farm and love hiking to this day. I am very observant and in my life I have seen more than a few mountain lions, white squirrels and even a black deer...so I pay attention and get out a lot. I have never been able to convince myself it was anything else. It was upright and appeared to be a dark blonde color in my headlight...
