Memory told of daylight sighting while dirt bike riding east of Freeburg (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 1996 SEASON: Summer MONTH: June DATE: 29 STATE: Illinois COUNTY: St. Clair County LOCATION DETAILS: Highway 15 NEAREST TOWN: Freeburg OBSERVED: My sister recalled a day sighting roughly 5 pm across from our home, in the strip mines. This was roughly 20 years ago. She was riding a small motorcycle down a rock road, she came over the hill to look at the mine lake. What she thought was a man was squatted sifting water with his hands. When it heard the motorcycle it turned and took off very quickly and uncharacteristically fast towards her. She turned and left as quickly as she could. She didn't notice the body but the face had a large amount of white hair with a rough expression, the movement was very quick and bounding. When she glanced back it was gone. My dad went over to see if he saw any signs of someone staying there and there was nothing. Come to find out there are many sightings in our area of something called the "silver creek freak". ALSO NOTICED: Nothing was found after the incident OTHER WITNESSES: Riding a small motorcycle OTHER STORIES: Yes, numerous sightings of what people called the "silver creek freak". Spotted near the dead end road on the other side of the mines. Along Silver Creek which runs off Jacks Run Road. TIME AND CONDITIONS: 5:00 pm, normal weather ENVIRONMENT: Old strip mines, no houses around at that time but rural acreage, wooded, large lake, very little people traffic.
