Woman Sees Mothman-Like Creature She Calls a Swift Peter

A recent story in Cryptozoology News caught my eye because it referred to a creature I had never heard of before. A woman in Mississippi claimed that in 2013 she saw a large creature with wings that scared her dogs and reminded her of the stories her grandparents told of a Mothman-like creature they called a Swift Peter.
Marie (no last name) says she saw the creature near Arkabutla Lake in Tate County at around 11 pm on a night when a storm knocked out the electricity. Hearing dogs barking everywhere, she investigated and saw a shadow of something that was “large and could fly.” She and her mother found a set of 7-toed footprints the next morning.

Heard about something like this back in the 70's when I was a teen and reading a lot of Ivan T. Sanderson cryptozoology books.
Must be a pain having this guy hovering around your porch light.

I have spent a lot of time on or near Arkabutla Lake, but saw nothing, not even a fish.

Well heck, looks like there be "Haunts" up in the piney woods of Mississippi too.
Thought they only hung out in the swamps of Louisiana :)

I liked that movie when it was on TV. Of course I was just a kid at the time.

Of course I was just a kid at the time. Yup '72 was a lifetime ago, that was three years before I met my future wife.
