Class A First-hand BFRO #6941

Man has encounter at close range for several minutes

October 2002 about 10AM Bryson, Jack County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a rural road in the morning when a figure crossed the road ahead. The witness stopped and watched a tall, reddish-brown haired, human-like and ape-like figure standing about 50 feet away facing him for about five minutes. The figure then walked into the woods, and a later check found no footprints because the ground was too hard.
