An unnamed American posted a photo of a mysterious creature on the Reddit website, claiming that it frequently appears at night near their homes. He did not disclose his city or even the state, only mentioning that this occurs in the Midwest (which includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin).
As proof of his claims, he uploaded two photos taken near his home and stated that he plans to install surveillance cameras.
In the first image, a black creature stands on two thin, long legs at a playground near a swing set. It somewhat resembles a large bird, like a crane or an African marabou, but in the second image, it appears to have a dinosaur-like snout.
“The cryptid in question appears in a random location, and as soon as a person starts approaching it, it vanishes. It was seen again a few weeks ago, moving at an incredible speed across several backyards (not flying), as if running. A local dog barks at the place where it appears, even when it’s no longer there,” the author of the photo described.
Some commenters suggested it might be a hoax (a fake), but the author insisted that he did not edit the photos and posted them to gather opinions from others about what it could be.
