Grande Prairie resident has possible sighting at sundown from backyard

2 April 2016 between 8 and 9 PM Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas 1 witness

Account

In spring 2016 after returning home from an evening walk near his home, the witness looked back across an open field toward the woods and saw the back of a tall, broad, hair-covered upright creature standing still about 150 yards away. After a few seconds it moved quickly into the woods. He later estimated it was over seven feet tall with no visible neck and a peaked, caramel-colored head and back.
