Gigantic Winged Creatures Sightings


1/31/18: In the past two weeks three witnesses have seen a creature with gigantic wings in Independence, Missouri – and one was my own. This, added to the three giant bird sightings already on file- makes SIX sighting reports in the same area. 

The first sighting was reported by a woman who was headed to her car after work on the evening of Friday, January 12, 2018. She heard sounds like something was flapping and running on the ground towards her from behind. She thought the flapping sound was a plastic tarp that was tied over a crate, but she thought the running sound was someone chasing her. She did not look back - but ran to the car door and jumped into the driver’s seat, then quickly closed and locked the door.

At that point, the woman noticed that there was something black in her rear-view mirror, then the entire car became enveloped in very large feathered black wings from the back around the side windows, and finally covering the front windshield. She was petrified. She could not see anything through the windows except blackness and could not see the body of whatever it was. Then, as quickly as it came, the creature disappeared. She did not see where it went. She was too afraid to get out of the car, so she called her son, who was still inside the building where they both worked.

A check of the security camera at the business showed nothing on camera during the time of the event, other than the woman running to her car and getting inside. Since there was no wind that night, the flapping sound could not have been the plastic tarp. What could have made sounds and be visible to this woman, and not show up on a security camera?

The next evening, I would see my own giant creature. I was outside on my deck sitting in my hot tub at about 11:30 pm when I heard a sound that drew my attention to the trees located on railroad property in the back of my house. These trees are on the opposite side of the tracks and they are about 100 feet away from where I was located. 

I was astonished to see a pair of gigantic wings spread out across the front of the trees as if a huge bird was sitting on a branch with its wings out. I could barely make out an indefinable body shape between the wings. It was dark out with the only light coming from the streetlights 300' feet away. Then movement caught my eye to the right in trees on my property. There were several undefined dark masses in these trees that were moving but silent. I turned back to look at the huge wings but they were gone. I noticed that there was no wind and it was dead calm, as it was the night before. I could not tell if the creature left, or if it may have brought its wings down and was still sitting in the trees, but I decided not to stay to find out. This was just too weird for me, so I went inside the house and locked the door.

A couple of days later I received a call from Jean Walker, a local investigator I often work with. She said that a woman saw a giant bird the size of a small plane flying over her house in Sugar Creek one evening this past week at about 11:00 p.m. This location is near the Missouri River and Independence. The witness often sees UFOs over her house, and at times has seen ET’s. Both Jean and I have seen and heard strange things at this person's house, but never a giant bird. 

In 2013 there was a giant bird sighting in east Independence by a local woman and her two sons. She said that this creature flew, or rather glided, silently over her house and was the size of a small plane. It had a long straight tail with a puff of feathers at the end of the tail. I did some research and could find no such bird listed anywhere. I then called the Missouri Department of Conservation and they knew of no gigantic birds like I described.

In 2015 my daughter, grandson, and I were standing in the front yard of my office in Independence at dusk when we noticed a very large bird flying overhead. It was flying very high (approx. 1,000 ft) and was extremely large. My grandson took a picture of it, then looked up the shape on an app. The closest thing he could find to match the shape was an albatross, which is not found in this area, but that does not explain the size. We don't know if there is any relation to the recent sightings. 

Is it possible that some type of gigantic winged creature is flying the skies over Independence and landing on cars?  If so, where is it hiding out? Perhaps in one of the many caves in the area or trees or bluffs along the Missouri River, which is just a few miles away from most of the sighting locations mentioned, and blocks away from the Sugar Creek sighting event.

It should be noted that a giant bird was reported along the Missouri River near St. Louis about 15 years ago. The witnesses said it looked like a Pterodactyl. We have no way of knowing if it was the same bird, or a species related to the same bird that is being seen in Independence, however, the Missouri River flows from the Independence area to St. Louis. The creature may be something that is navigating along the river. There are numerous caves and bluffs along the river areas where something big could hide. 

Several people have speculated that this creature is the Mothman, and is a portent to a coming disaster.

I submitted an inquiry to the Missouri Department of Conservation and here is what they said:


"The largest bird wingspan in Missouri is a bald eagle at 80” (just shy of 7 feet). A bald eagle would be fairly easily recognizable and would not perch on a car, but soar high above or seen perched at a distance. A turkey vulture would, however, perch on a car and has a wingspan of 67” (about 5.5 feet). Not large enough to cover an entire car, though.

No bird in Missouri has a 20-25 feet wingspan. The largest wingspan of any flying bird is the critically endangered California Condor, only found in tiny pockets in the far west."

I would like to hear from anyone who has seen similar creatures, no matter where you live.

Joshua P. Warren discussed these events on his podcast on February 18, 2018

Possible Sasquatch Calls Heard Along the MIssouri River

Investigators working on multiple UFO sighting reports in Sugar Creek, and Independence, Missouri have occasionally heard what are possibly calls by Sasquatch in the area.

Jean Walker and Margie Kay have been working on multiple UFO reports in the Sugar Creek and Independence, Missouri area along the Missouri River for approximately five years. Some witnesses have described hearing very loud screeches and screams that come from two or even three creatures at the same time, who seem to be communicating with each other from different directions. Both Margie and Jean have heard the calls as well while on site for investigations, but the witnesses who live on the sites have heard these yells on numerous occasions.

Location of Sasquatch sightings or screams
Three men saw a Sasquatch walk out of the woods and look at a stream in the Sugar Creek Conservation area a few years ago (see my previous article on this subject), so we know that Sasquatch are in the area.

The most recent event occurred in November of 2018 east of Independence, Missouri along 24 Highway in a rural area with farmland and houses. A family was having dinner when they heard what sounded like a girl screaming very loudly. They ran outside to see if they could find the girl, but didn't find anyone. Luckily, the event was captured on audio on their HD security system, and it has been analyzed by investigators, who believe that the scream was most likely a Sasquatch since it could not be identified as any known animal.

Seasoned Sasquatch investigators say that it is typical for Sasquatch to sound like a girl or woman screaming, although louder than what you would expect from a human.

All of the sites in question are near heavily wooded lands and are located close to the Missouri River. There would be ample food and water supply for Sasquatch in the area. Investigators plan to search for signs of Sasquatch structures in the area in the spring of 2019.

Anyone who has encountered a Sasquatch or heard unusual loud screams is encouraged to contact Margie Kay at margiekay06@yahoo.com.

Bigfoot Caught on Live Eagle Cam!


A video posted to YouTube on September 15, 2016 has gone viral with over 1.6 million views. The video was captured on a Carbon Media Group Eagle Cam who partnered with the Department of Natural Resources in a remote part of the state of Michigan. The video was captured in the spring of this year but only recently reviewed and posted. 

In the video a large hairy figure walking on two legs appears in frame, looks around, then jumps over a couple of logs and walks out of frame. The distance of the leaps appears to be longer than what a human would be capable of but this can only be determined if the location is made available to researchers.

Bigfoot Print Found in Rural Area in Missouri

12" foot print found on the property
A homeowner living in a rural area near Piedmont, Missouri found an unexplained footprint on her property on May 13, 2016. It appears to be a print made by a bare left foot and measures approximately 12" long. A second, partial right print was found four feet away. No other prints were located. 

The witness said that she has found multiple broken tree limbs, all at approximately 10' from the ground, with the limbs left bent over, and a driving path area which has now been completely blocked by branches and two large downed trees. She will need to hire someone to move these items before she can use her 4-wheeler on the path. 

Second foot print on ATV path
Four years ago this same witness submitted a short movie obtained by a motion-activated hunter camera. In this movie which we put up on You Tube, a figure is seen moving in the background that is either a person in a furry suit or possibly a bigfoot. Since then, no signs of a bigfoot presence have been found until now. 

Bigfoot are known to break tree limbs and block roads with heavy limbs and dead trees. This may be a territorial sign or a "keep out" warning. 

What surprised the homeowner was the fact that one of the broken tree limbs is right next to her house. "This means that whatever did this was very close to me and that is unsettling to say the least," she said. 

This site has been the focus of an ongoing investigation into paranormal activity witnessed by several people. This activity includes strange bright white lights and orbs, UFO sightings, strange visits by people, men walking in the woods at night and early morning hours dressed in black military clothing, and other odd occurrences. 

The witness lives in a remote wooded area outside the small town of Piedmont, Missouri, located in the Southeast area of the state.

Investigators speculate that this location may be some type of portal or vortex, allowing inter-dimensional beings to travel back and forth.

New Bigfoot Article in the Salem News


Photo: The Salem News

On June 14, 2016 the Salem News (Salem, Missouri) published an article titled Bigfoot in Bunker? The Search is On by staff reporter Andrew Sheeley. The reporter interviewed eyewitness David Prater and bigfoot investigator Dr. Emmett Reary of Salem.

A quote from the article:

“The Missouri Ozarks is a mysterious place, a lot of odd stuff happens here. It just might be that the world we see is not the world as it really is,” Reary says. “The truth is out there, and we just 

have to keep searching for it and following the evidence.”Here is a link to the article:

Thunderbird Sighting in Booneville, MO

A man named Mike called in to Coast to Coast AM last night, April 1, 2016 to report that while he and his son were on a fishing trip they heard something like running horses and feld strong vibrations through their feet. The man did not see anything, however, his son said thought he saw a gigantic bird with a 25-foot wingspan. Mike said "I now know why they call them a thunderbird because of the noise and the feeling they cause in the ground."  To listen to the show visit this link to the Coast to Coast AM website:

This report can go along with several others in the states of Missouri, Texas, and California that are similar in nature.

Sasquatch Shadow Sighting in Clinton, Missouri

A friend of mine living near Clinton, Missouri sent me some video footage that she obtained from her stealth camera. The camera is set up to view the back yard of her home right next to the detached garage. This is a rural area with a lot of acreage and woods, and many deer and other animals have been observed by my friend and her family and neighbors. Even wolves have been sighted at the tree line.
Two still shots from the video showing the full shadow on the ground and a shadow of the head on the bush to the left

This video was obtained a few days ago on the property. The night-vision camera is motion-activated so that it begins recording shortly after triggered. The witness slowed the video down because a shadow captured could not be observed easily without doing so. In the video a motion-activated light comes on, then the clear shadow of something walking by (apparently on two legs) can be seen on the ground and on a nearby tree. There is a very long shadow cast, which indicates something tall was there, and in the final frames it looks like a conical head shape shadow cast on a tree. We are going to test to see how tall the creature must have been in order to cast such a long shadow. It must have been moving very quickly as well and obviously had no problem walking on two legs.

It is the opinion of myself and my friend that the most likely candidate is a Sasquatch. It would not surprise me since we have had a number of Sasquatch sightings reported in Missouri in the past couple of years, and this location is a perfect spot for such a creature to live.

Strange Sounds in Independence may be Sasquatch

Strange howls and calls have been heard by several witnesses in Independence, Missouri, which to date are unexplained. A woman who has had a number of UFO sightings at her home near the Missouri River clost to 291 Highway and 24 Highway in northeast Independence has heard some strange howls that she and her husband cannot identify. An investigator went to the site and heard the sounds as well. The residents are both veteran farmers and are familiar with the usual coyote howls and other animal noises, but say that this is nothing like that.

Sasquatch drawing by Alexa Evans
"The sounds are more like very loud screams coming from one area, then another one answers from a long way away. It's very spooky to say the least," said the witness.

The investigator said she cannot explain the sounds, either. "I've heard coyotes, wolves, elk, and moose, and this is nothing like any of them. I'm completely stumped."

Both the witness and the investigator listened to Sasquatch recordings on the internet and say that is the closest sound to what they are hearing.

A Sasquatch was sighted not far from this location at a stream in Sugar Creek, located west of 291 Highway in 2012 (see my other blog post about that incident for more information). Perhaps this is the same creature, or one of several. In interviewing several witnesses who have Sasquatch on their property I've found that it appears that they travel in groups or clans.

If you live in the area, keep and ear and eye out for these elusive creatures.

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."

According to Wikipedia Eminence is a city in Shannon CountyMissouriUnited States. The
population was 600 at the time of the 2010 census. 
Eminence is located in the center of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Missouri's largest national park and the nation's first protected river system. Popular activities in the Eminence area include canoeing, hunting, fishing, and horseback riding.

Thank you to Missouri MUFON for this report. A MUFON investigator has been assigned to the case.

Strange Chupacabra-Like Creature Reported in Western Missouri

The Kansas City Chapter of Missouri MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) has received six reports of a chupacabra-like creature from different witnesses in western Missouri. Investigators request that witnesses to any unusual animals report their sighting to Missouri MUFON.

Each of the six sightings involved one to two witnesses who report seeing a similar animal which either sits on its haunches or walks. The front legs are shorter than the back legs, it has a long snout with fangs and short grey hair. Most witness report that the creature is approximately two feet tall when sitting, but two witnesses say the animals they saw were as large as a small deer.

One animal was spotted near Woods Chapel Road in Blue Springs near Lake Jacomo. It had mottled dark and light gray hair, a boxy large back end, and short front legs making the body shorter in the front than in the back. This particular animal was approximately 40" - 45" long and 28" high.

 A similarly sized creature was seen near Rich Hill Missouri in 2010 by two witnesses driving north on 49 highway. The creature ran across the road in front of the vehicle.

Two witnesses visiting a park at the Missouri river saw a small strange animal sitting on its hind legs in the middle of the road. It did not move and they needed to pull the car off the road to get around the creature. The creature was described as small, with short front legs which reminded the witnesses of a kangaroo, and with a long snout.

The sightings were reported in mid 2010 to August of 2015. All of the locations were in Independence, Blue Springs, Rich Hill, and Clinton, Missouri. No one has yet been able to obtain a photograph.

A call to the Missouri Department of Conservation yielded no explanation.

The reports of this chupacabra type creature come in the wake of a rash of Sasquatch sightings near a wooded area in Belton, Missouri and Independence, Missouri near the Missouri river, and an undisclosed location in Northeast Missouri. Missouri MUFON and other groups are investigating.

Missouri MUFON urges people to carry a camera and take a photo of anything unusual including UFO's and cryptid creatures. Missouri MUFON investigates UFOs, Sasquatch, cryptid creatures, animal mutilations and crop circles, and has trained investigators across the state.
From Wikipedia:Chupacabras can be literally translated as "goat-sucker", from chupar ("to suck") and cabra ("goat"). It is known as both chupacabras and chupacabra throughout the Americas, with the former being the original word,[4] and the latter a regularization of it. The name in Spanish can be preceded by a singular masculine article (el chupacabras), or the plural masculine article (los chupacabras).

Nat Geo Wild produced a program on the topic in 2013. The show information is available at http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/the-monster-project/galleries/chupacabra/at/beware-the-chupacabra-2074274/ 

H2 the History Chanel aired a chupacabra episode on Monster Quest, available at http://www.history.com/shows/monsterquest/videos/chupacabra-evidence

Historic Bigfoot Sighting Reported

A woman from Elkton, Missouri, south of Warsaw called a few days ago to report an event that occurred at her childhood home 40 years ago (about 1975) when she was 14 years old. This is a small town in a rural area.

Her family had just finished dinner late one evening and her 10-year old brother was sent to take the trash out to the end of their driveway for pickup in the morning. It was dark outside but there was a bright moon. The family heard the young boy scream and they all went out to investigate to see what was wrong. They found the boy lying on the ground unconscious. When he came to he said he was carrying the trash and when he got about halfway down the driveway he saw a 7 - 8' tall bigfoot standing just 10' away from him. The two stood staring at each other for a minute, but then the boy must have passed out. The young man had not been exposed to reports of bigfoot and thought it was a giant ape and was extremely frightened.

The next morning the four children went out looking for evidence and found several very large footprints. They ran to get their parents, who took a casting of one of the prints with plaster of Paris. The witness, who is part Cherokee, is going to try to find the cast and send it to me.
