Former park ranger has possible night sighting near a remote Texas game ranch
Account
Late at night the witness and companions stopped while driving remote dirt roads and the witness scanned a clearing with a night-vision monocular. The witness claims a large dark shape stood bipedally and moved with long smooth strides behind a mesquite tree, where it remained as an indistinct dark shape. No recording was made and none of the companions saw the figure.
