Rancher startles a bigfoot while burning trash outside Daingerfield

October 2004 Mid-day Daingerfield, Morris County, Texas 1 witness

Account

In early autumn at mid-day the witness was burning damp feed sacks behind a bunkhouse when a flare-up was followed by a startled sound behind him. He turned and saw a tall reddish-brown biped run upright into virgin woods and disappear within seconds. He later returned with a gun for safety but found no tracks because of leaves and ground clutter.
