Class A First-hand BFRO #11543

While riding horse, man has mid-day sighting

July 2003 Around 12:00 noon. Cut-n-Shoot, Montgomery County, Texas 1 witness

Account

In summer 2003 the witness was horseback riding with relatives and a companion on dirt roads through an unused hunting lease around midday. After turning back from a dead end, the witness stopped to look at a dead snake, then looked up and saw an upright, hair-covered creature leap across the full width of the road. The companions were facing the opposite direction and did not see it, suggesting a cow or deer, but the witness remained convinced it was bipedal and erect.
