Class A First-hand BFRO #4143

While searching for their uncle, two boys see a tall creature look at them, grunt and run off towards the woods

April 1982 near dark Bagwell, Red River County, Texas 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion entered a cleared pasture near dark to look for a relative and approached a figure they first mistook for the relative. From about fifty feet they realized it was a hairy biped about six and a half feet tall. The creature turned to look at them, grunted, then ran toward the woods and stepped over a fence as they screamed.
