Location: Leyburn, Queensland
Event: Yowie Sighting
Date of Sighting: 2008
My daughter was going to work at about 5am and heard a growling noise in the shed. When they came home, they found footprints in the shed.
The next day, the 3 kids were alone home after School. They were trying to text her at work saying something was wrong. This thing was around the house banging on the windows and walls.
Everyone over the period of 4 weeks had heard it crashing around the house at night, and two of the kids had actually seen it. On one occasion it was seen by my daughters partner walking passed the window at night. He went out after it, but it headed off into the bush and he couldn’t catch up with it.
One of the girls saw it in a tree watching the house, and she got a really good look at it.
At first they thought it may have been an animal escaped from the Zoo because it was kind of Monkey’ish.
One night about 4 or 5 of them were watching movies when this thing started bashing on the window.
My daughter’s son who had seen it said it looked more like an Ape, and it had very large shoulders and a fair sized head. He was always on about how big its hands were. It had white hair and black hair inside the arms and legs.
The Children's sketches
My eldest grandson has several times seen an apelike creature which is mainly white but with some black markings on the insides of its arms and legs. He says it is not tall, maybe about 4 or 5 ft, has large shoulders and "huge" hands. It has a large head and oversized canines, green/blue eyes. He has, several times, seen it "sitting" in trees around the property.
My daughter was going to work at about 5am one morning and heard growling in one of the sheds. Although there is a dog kennelled in that shed the dog was not doing the growling, in fact the dog was making no sound at all. Short wide footprints were found on the floor of the shed. This growling sound was also heard at the dam area by adults and kids.
One night my daughter's partner and his daughter were in the kitchen and both saw something white go quickly past the window. He went outside but couldn't see anything. Another night four of the kids and a friend went into a bedroom to watch a movie and something large crashed against the window and "sort of shook" it.
Two nights ago my daughter and her partner heard noise on the veranda and went to investigate. None of the three dogs barked. The cats were inside the house.
She went to the glass doors onto the veranda but couldn't see anything. He went around the side of house and hearing noise, followed it into the bush for about five minutes but found nothing.
The next day they went down to the dam area and found a number of broken trees and branches and other trees with long scratch marks.
My daughter says the trees/branches had been freshly broken.
Oddly enough, although there are sensor lights around the house these had stopped working a few days after they moved in to the house.
They presumed that they were just worn out or that they all must be all on the one circuit and were going to "get around" to fixing them. After the incident of two nights ago my daughter insisted that her partner get new bulbs or fix the lights in someway. As I said, oddly, two of the bulbs were missing and the others were "half screwed out".
My husband thought juvenile (spelling?) yowie, (a worry, because where are mum and dad?) so I decided to do some research and found your page. I would be grateful if you would give me your thoughts on this
