While hunting in Sabine River bottoms, two boys have daytime encounter
Account
In 1987 two companions hunting after school were walking on a dirt road in river bottoms and looking down a right-of-way. A large hair-covered figure at least 7 feet tall came out of the trees, walked along the tree line, then went back into the trees without crossing. The witnesses were carrying guns but ran home.
