Family experiences activity near Ector.

Account

In the fall of 2001 the witness's daughter was driving up the gravel access road to the family home late at night after work. A large fur-covered figure running upright crossed a few yards in front of her headlights from west to east. She later compared its appearance to the creature from the film Harry and the Hendersons and was reluctant to discuss it.
