RED-EYED, HUMAN-SHAPED BEING Observed on Bridge in Lee County, Illinois

A long-haul couple, driving separate rigs, encounter a human-shaped creature with large red eyes crouched on a bridge in Lee County, Illinois, 70 miles west of Chicago.

I received the following account:

“I was an owner/operator in trucking. My husband knew I had had a lot of unusual things happen to me in my life. Thank goodness he believed in me, so he didn't criticize me. Here is my story.

It was the night of August 2, 2017. We had traveled in separate rigs from Chicago, Illinois, and were cutting across this bridge in the boonies. We were about 70 miles west of the city in Lee County, Illinois. It was a low-weight bridge (I don't remember the road name or designation) but instead of turning around and backtracking many miles, he decided that we would cross this bridge. Not liking the idea I agreed and he said he would go first just in case something happened. Okay I said. He crossed the bridge.

Now let me say this. It was indeed a small road and after crossing, there was barely any room to turn right and bring the trailer behind you and not hit the side of the cut.

Okay, so after he crossed safely he said be careful. "The road is barely there and a really tight turn." So I followed and I spoke to him over the CB and told him that he was right and that was tight. That is when he asked me if had I seen that thing on top of the bridge. He told me, "I don't see how you could miss it. It was like some big being of some kind in a crouched position with really big red eyes glowing brightly." I joked with him, that is why they call me 'a detective' because nothing gets by me. I was joking but knew he didn't joke about this kind of stuff. So he described it again as a large person or human-like shape sitting on top of this bridge with red glowing eyes. He was serious. Now I don't know if this thing was warning us or protecting us but it happened and that is that." S

NOTE: Even though this was a possible winged humanoid sighting, there wasn't enough detail offered in order to place it with the other sightings. If I do receive more information, I may change the status. Lon

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

The 'Not Deer' was first described as a phenomenon from Appalachia. But there have been similar sightings reported in other areas over recent years. So what is the 'Not Deer?' Is it just a freak of nature or is it a legitimate cryptid? Some say that it is a manifestation of Zombie Deer Syndrome or a wasting disease. That may be true in some instances. But generally, witnesses report an animal that has the body of a deer, but characteristics that parallel either human behavior & physical attributes. There are also a few instances where these creatures are said to shapeshift into other animals. So, sit back & listen to the presentation, & decide for yourself.

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
