Class A First-hand BFRO #1460

Two Large Creatures Were Seen Coming Out of Creek

BFRO YEAR: Mid- to Late-1970s night Alexandria, Rapides Parish, Louisiana 1 witness

Account

As a child camping with family, the witness woke at night and stayed up to watch raccoons. Two large hair-covered creatures waded across a creek into the camp, growling and grunting while going through items left out. The frightened witness hid and remained still until they left the way they came, after which the raccoons returned.
