Class B First-hand BFRO #3587

Late afternoon sighting at creek, about fifteen miles NW of Paris

12 December 2001 approx 4:30pm Paris, Lamar County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness was on a walk in woods near a creek below her property and sat on a natural log bridge. She twice viewed through binoculars a brown, hairy, bipedal creature about 50 to 75 yards away that appeared frozen mid-stride in a bent-over stance staring toward her, then could not find it on a third look. She heard nothing further, waited some time, and continued her walk about ten minutes later without further incident.
