Llama-man possibly seen in town

By Tracy Farr
Editor, The Daily Spittoon

Manny LeBohn was walking around his neighborhood early Saturday morning when he heard footsteps behind him. At first, when he looked over his shoulder, he didn't see anyone. But then, out of the darkness, a human shape charged him, spat on him, and then disappeared into the nearby woods. LeBohn believes it was none other than the Llama-Man. 

"I always take my morning walk before the sun comes up," LeBohn told authorities. "It's cooler, there's no traffic, and it's wonderful to look up at all the stars. But after what happened to me, I'll probably never venture out in the dark as long as I live."

LeBohn said the incident happened so fast that he barely got a good look at his assailant.

"I know it was a man; I know he was taller than me; and he stank," LeBohn said. "I tried to back away from him, but I stumbled and fell. That's when he spit on me. And then he was gone."

It was what happened next that sent LeBohn running for his life.

"I was wiping the spit off my face, trying to stand, when I felt something was watching me," LeBohn said. "I stared into the woods where the man had gone, and there, in the trees, stood a pack of llamas, just staring at me. I could hear them stomping the ground, snorting. I knew for sure they were going to finish the job. That's when I turned around and ran for my life."

Authorities believe the llama-man is Scott Van Dyer, a boy that disappeared 16 years ago when he was seven. It is believed Scott ran away from home, got lost in the woods and was befriended by a pack of feral llamas. Stinky Creekians hunted for Scott all over Crappie County, but they never found a trace of him.

Sheriff Max Welter asks residents to be careful when venturing out at night. He also recommends that if you see a pack of wild llamas, or the Llama-Man, to stay away from them and call the police.
