Have you ever been driving and see something around a corner that takes your breath away and question if you're hallucinating? That happened to a man who swears he and his mother were driving around a corner in Missouri when they suddenly saw what appeared to be a gigantic creature standing next to a chicken coop.

This interesting tale comes from a man named Darrell who now lives in southern Georgia, but he grew up in a rural area of Missouri near the Mark Twain National Forest. He recently shared a harrowing story with Missouri YouTube channel Sasquatch Theory.

Darrell: "We were riding back and I was looking at the trees and watching for animals and stuff...As we got closer to Willow Springs, we kind of came out of the Mark Twain National Forest and start seeing some of the small farms and homesteads...we're driving and it's right at dusk...I'm looking out of the window and we drive by a small farm maybe about 50 yards off the road."

That's when something bizarre caught Darrell's eyes.

Darrell: "There was an equipment shed or a barn or something there and it had what appeared to be a chicken coop next to it...near it, 5 or 6 feet from it...a VERY LARGE ANIMAL".

Darrell said that he's seen black bears before and this wasn't that. What he had eyes on was about 2 times bigger than the largest bear he had ever seen. 

Darrell: "I followed it with my eyes and turned my head just so I could keep watching it...it didn't look like it had much of a neck...it had black fur...it was standing on two legs and standing upright".

What did Darrell see next to that Missouri chicken coop? Can you discount the eyewitness testimony of someone who's well-versed in wildlife in the Missouri back country?

I can tell by Darrell's voice that he sincerely believes he saw something unusual just outside of the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri that day. What it truly was remains a mystery.
