Early evening sighting by motorist two miles outside Bon Wier
Account
The witness and their spouse were driving on Highway 190 in southeast Texas at dusk in fall 1981 or 1982. A tall, lean, hairy figure stepped into the road ahead of them, paused near the center to look toward the vehicle, then continued off the road into vegetation. The pair watched for about ten seconds and drove past without stopping.

Evidence & investigation
What the source says was found or done. Claimed evidence is listed as claimed; the Anomadex has not examined it.
An investigator spoke with the witness by phone in December 2009 and noted extra details with the report otherwise unchanged.
The witness returned to the general location two years before the follow-up but could not pinpoint the exact spot because the area had changed.
