Woman recalls seeing huge bigfoot creature from a boat on Lake Livingston

5 May 1990 around 1:00 p.m. Point Blank, San Jacinto County, Texas 6 witnesses

Account

The witness was riding in a rented boat on Lake Livingston with five companions when she felt watched from shore. She turned and saw a tall black hairy block-built figure staring at her for a few seconds before it stepped sideways into dense forest. Its departure shook trees and flushed birds, and the companions heard the crashing but did not see the figure; the group declined to go ashore to look for footprints.
