7-Foot Bat-like Creature Spotted near Blue Springs, Missouri


A woman witnessed a strange bat-like tall creature while driving on a road near Eminence, MO, near Blue Springs on June 28, 2015. According to the witness the creature had leather-like wings which were folded at its side and large cat-like eyes. She was unable to go back to get a better look at the creature. In her words: 

"We were driving along the gravel path towards Blue Springs near Eminence, MO. We were on the path off the highway leading towards the spring. I was in the backseat with my two young children and my husband driving the car. I was gazing out the window at the passing trees into the woods when I saw a large, 7 ft black creature with its leather wings folded up at its side and large cat like ears also black and triangular. It's eyes were yellow and also cat like. Immediately within a few moments I told my husband to stop the car and reverse because I had seen a large cat or bat in the woods and I wanted confirmation. My brain was confused and I couldn't quickly explain what I had meant. He reversed, but a car was coming up behind us and there wasn't room on the road for both of us and he didn't immediately realize the enormity of what I had seen. It was not a tree log, I am sure. We have drove by there since and I assure you I have tried to explain it away. But that is what I was witness to that day, and I needed to share. Thank you."
