Class A First-hand BFRO #1461

Witnesses saw Creature next to a Broken Tree

1980–1989 Pineville, Rapides Parish, Louisiana 6 witnesses

Account

A group of youths watching cattle from a hill saw the herd become anxious and flee a corner of the field. They went to the fencerow to investigate and found reddish hair on barbed wire and a small pine twisted and knocked over high up. After hearing movement, two of them saw a face with gray-white eyes and reddish hair about seven feet up near the broken tree and watched it for about two minutes before fleeing.
