Class B First-hand BFRO #55412

Memory told of spying something large and hairy overturning rocks by the Brazos River

BFRO YEAR: 1985-86 mid morning Goat Neck, Johnson County, Texas 1 witness

Account

At age 12 or 13 while exploring alone along a cliff top, the witness heard low grunts and rocks rolling below. Looking over the edge, he saw a very large hair-covered creature crouched on two legs overturning large rocks with its arms and hands. Startled, he ran back to his group.
