Duck hunters have early morning encounter

14 October 1972 about 7:00 am, morning twilight Jennings, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were duck hunting by boat in a Louisiana bayou at dawn when they noticed a large hairy form in the water ahead. The form appeared to walk upright toward them, showing long hair, a bearded face, and swaying shoulders above the waterline. Unable to identify it or get a verbal response, they became frightened and motored away, abandoning their decoys.
