I had to drive to mother-in-laws house to get medicine for my wife. On the way back home, I had the window down and as I rounded a turn I could smell a vary bad odor sort of like when wild hogs get into mating season. At this time I noticed something standing about 20-25 feet off the road back into a little slew area. At this time it was dry, but since we had rain over the weekend there is some water standing in it now. I stopped my truck and looked at this thing for what might have been 10 minutes. I would say its height was 7 foot or just a little over, covered from head to toe with shaggy reddish brown hair, big dark eyes, face looked like a cross between an Ape and a human, approx. 3 – 3 1/2 wide at the shoulders, just guessing at its weight about 350 – 400 lbs, minimum. The thing just stood there looking back at me, until I started thinking I better get home since my wife was sick and she might worry. I did not see which way it walked off.

Any Prior Sightings: Yes, in the early 90’s there was a story that some people claimed to have clipped one with their car late one night on CR.2863. Wife’s family and mine have lived in the area all our lives and we have heard strange vocals coming out of the woods near the back of her mothers property. Wife’s mother and father have seen something recently that they said was about the size of a 2 year old covered in hair, running on 2 legs across their yard and catching birds and then running back into the woods.

Investigator Report:

Two visits have been made to the sighting location by the TexLa Research team. The first visit with the witness took place on Wednesday December 28th, 2011. We arrived in town around noon and were met by the witness at a pre-agreed upon spot, about 3.5 miles from the sighting location. For this first visit 2 TexLa members and 1 member of the Mid America Bigfoot Research Center were present to interview the witness and his family. We were taken to the sighting location which was a slough that was now filled with water, but had been dry at the time of the sighting. A photo of the location is below, taken from the approximate spot where the witness was parked on the road looking out across the slough. The time of the sighting was 5:30PM when the witness happened to see it standing there in fading light, completely still, with nothing moving but its eyes. He watched it from his truck for about 10 minutes and finally proceeded on his way back home. In addition to his sighting and the incidents that his wife’s family has had at their residence the witness informed us that he has a deer feeder in the woods behind his house that has been repeatedly robbed of corn via having the top opened. This is accomplished via releasing a latch at over 8 feet off the ground, most people would need a ladder to reach the latch or add feed to the feeder. A picture of the feeder has been provided below.

After hearing and recording reports from the witnesses, we devised a plan to place audio recorders across the area. We talked to and secured permission from the owner of the property behind the in-laws house to place an array of recorders in the valley behind their back fence line. We also placed audio recorders at the sighting location, at the deer feeder location and along a creek that had a steady flow of water about 1/2 mile east of the sighting location. Deployment of all audio was accomplished by 5:30PM, a tent was setup on the in-laws property to facilitate 2 of the researchers whom were spending the night to experience some of the sounds of this area and gather additional information for a return trip with a larger crew and more equipment. All audio from this outing has been reviewed and most of the events recorded could be either attributed to local livestock or known wild fauna, however, we did collect a couple of things of interest that you can listen to below. These include a strange raspy distant yell type vocal and a rather noisy creek crossing.
