Odor near Jefferson, Texas (1977)
Account
On a summer evening the grandmother was taking clothes off the line when a strong smell appeared. She ran to the porch, ordered the small children inside, latched the door, and something banged on the porch with growling noises. Days later she told the children that Bigfoot had been in the yard and forbade anyone going outside, even to the outhouse.
