MUSCATINE COUNTY, Iowa (KWQC) R. J. Strong of Port Louisa, Iowa was spooked by what he saw a week ago Monday, June 13, at 2 a.m.
Strong posted on Facebook afterward that he was traveling near Ogilvie and F avenues in Muscatine County when he saw some weirdo walking down the paved road in a black trench coat!!!!
Several others on social media have reported similar sightings in recent weeks.
According to the reports, the individuals have been seen standing beside roadways and sometimes stepping into roadways as motorists are passing at locations across Muscatine County, in southeastern Iowa.
My son has experienced this and its no joke, posted Beatrice Wilson Strong. It was really a frightening experience to him.
Its happened to a few friends of mine out on [Highway] 22, posted Cassie Pameticky.
The Muscatine County Sheriffs Office has taken notice, posting Monday on its Facebook page, We have had several reports of men dressed in black entering the roadway in rural Muscatine County.
Several people have told KWQC that these same individuals have been spotted walking across homeowners yards, although the MCSO Facebook post does not mention sightings on private property.
The MCSO is now asking anyone who encounters the individuals to call 911 immediately.
The sheriffs Facebook post has generated several jokes and speculation that harmless pranksters are behind the sightings.
However, the MCSO says on its Facebook page, We do take this seriously and investigators are hoping the public can assist.

Stacey Oh look, another opportunity for republicans to display how humorless and lacking in common decency they are. Why is it that the painfully dumb always want to "shoot" people or run them over? But they're the ones that are supposedly more Christian and "smarter" than we are. You really are the ugliest, most useless people. One story claims they're just walking along the road and the hillbillies want you to think they're jumping out in front of cars. Lots of people jump on the bandwagon when someone else's false story gets attention. Look at all the poorly written stories about bigfoot encounters and black eyed kids. One fake story spurned a whole bunch of them. As about the only smart person here stated, ask them conversationally what they're doing. That is, assuming a road that's regularly patrolled is actually having this problem and people aren't just inventing stories for attention
Chimi Changa Did it ever cross anybody's mind to stop and ask what they are doing? Not in a confrontational way... Just ask. Be armed of course. If they are up to no good and out to hurt people, you can protect your community. If they're just stupid pranksters, now you know. Rocket science this isn't. Defend your communities or cower in fear of anything and everything... Your choice America.
Obama uses a dead mans ssn Hillary Clinton wears trench coats and nothing else when she goes flashing
Nathan Bedford Forrest Hillary said she was named after the first man to climb Everest, which occurred in 1953 when she was 6 years-old. What was she called before that
Nathan Bedford Forrest/ Kevin Kelley If Hillary wins will Chelsea's father, Web Hubble, move into the White Hut or Monica's boyfriend?
