Fall 1925 sunrise Bordelonville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana 2 witnesses

Account

In fall 1925, two brothers were walking to duck blinds at sunrise near a lake in Louisiana with a kerosene lamp. They noticed two red reflections in the treeline that approached them, revealing a furry, lumbering figure with red eyes reflecting the light. When it came within a few feet, the brothers dropped their gear and fled home in fear.
