Driver sees a bigfoot cross the road near Harleton

8 March 2003 5:45 pm at dusk, almost dark Harleton, Harrison County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving east toward Marshall at dusk when movement on the roadside caught attention. A very tall dark figure stepped onto the highway and crossed it in three strides before disappearing into brush. The witness stopped past the crossing, found a wide water trail across the road and noticed a strong dead-animal odor while feeling watched, then left.
