Motorist recounts daylight sighting on her property east of New Waverly

11 November 1997 about 11:15 am Evergreen, San Jacinto County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a narrow wooded road in late morning with three young passengers in the car. She noticed a tall reddish-haired figure in a thicket ahead, initially mistaking it for a horse. As she drove closer the figure turned to look at her, then crouched behind a small tree and watched her pass at close range. She kept driving without stopping, and the passengers did not see it.
