LEO has a daylight sighting at a ranch outside Grapeland

Fall 2007 about 3:45pm Grapeland TX, Houston County, Texas 3 witnesses

Account

Three men in a truck had just passed through a ranch gate in daylight when a tall, dark-haired creature emerged from a pine thicket and ran across the road in front of them in about three strides. It continued over a fence into trees on the other side in a matter of seconds without making sound. All three occupants reportedly watched the crossing and later searched for footprints without success.
