(Other Hominoid) Murphysboro Mud Monster

This photo is an example of one of the locations the creature was seen in.

A creature being called the Murphysboro Mud Monster, or the Big Muddy Monster, was seen in Murphysboro, Illinois. It was first seen on June 25th, 1973 around midnight by Randy Needham and Judy Johnson. The couple were parked along the side of the road over looking the river. While the two were discussing whether they were going to stay or go home, Needham heard what he described as an “eagle shrieking into a microphone”. After flicking on the headlights to the car, the two were staring at a gigantic creature lumbering toward them. The two later described it as an “oversized gorilla” standing at an estimated 8 feet tall with mud-caked white hair covering its body.
