Class A First-hand BFRO #51821

Family has multiple sightings and interactions in their backyard near Elgin

Spring 2015 evenings before dark Elgin, Lee County, Texas 3 witnesses

Account

The witness reports nearly a year of interaction at a rural home property where food left in a tree was taken, rocks were tossed near family members, vocalizations and a strong odor were noted, and a large hairy figure was partly seen beside a tree. The family came to view the main animal as a gentle female and believed several others including young were present. Activity is said to have faded after new homes were built nearby.
