Class B First-hand BFRO #63398

Photographer's daylight encounter west of Coldspring in Sam Houston National Forest

11 June 2009 late afternoon Coldspring, San Jacinto County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness hiked into the national forest in late afternoon to photograph woods and wildlife and waited near a utility clearing. After briefly seeing a juvenile bear emerge and retreat, the witness turned and noticed a large upright human-like shape close by in thick brush. A tree trunk snapped and fell toward the witness, who fled to the car and drove away, later concluding the shape might have been a Sasquatch.
