Charles Straub, watchman in auto salvage yard just North of Murphysboro, phoned the owner, Bob Reiman, suspecting a prowler. They searched and encountered 8 to 10 foot creature covered with fur, with lots of teeth, not fangs, and a strong smell. Reiman called his family, and his sister, Joyce Tendall, of Royalton, saw the creature later. She said it seemed to be circling them, as if curious.
