Photographer has daytime sighting in woods near Lawrence witnessed in Douglas County, Kansas

Open Map

I was taking pictures for my Photography class at Haskell University near the Wetlands. I had walked over a pile of dead and chopped wood into the woods about fifty feet when I heard something ahead. I looked up and saw something standing there, then immediately take off, and without much of a start jump about 7 to ten feet in distance over a fallen tree which was about five feet high. It disapeared into the bush, and did not make a sound in its retreat. The first moment I thought it was a worker from the nearby factory wearing a big coat, then I quickly realized what it was. It had a full body of dark blonde/light brown hair, about 6'6" or taller, and had a slight slouch to itself. It was also very fast, very illusive, and had seemed to disapear in a glimmer when it took off. I could not hear it beyond the brush where it took off to, so I thought it was still close by. So, as scared as I was but with a camera in my hand I had to follow, but when I got into the brush there was nothing....
