Class A First-hand BFRO #8790

Man sees an upright creature jump across wooded trail

29 May 2004 dusk Cleveland, Liberty County, Texas 2 witnesses

Account

A couple walking on a gated two-track trail near the Trinity River at dusk claimed a rusty-red upright figure about six feet tall leapt across the trail about 40 yards ahead and disappeared into the woods in under a second. They ran to the crossing point and reported hearing it continue running through the woods, flushing birds, and the primary witness smelled a strong musky odor. They found no tracks but noted a clump of freshly uprooted trees nearby.
