Class B First-hand BFRO #56212

Memory told of a scary, daytime encounter while frog hunting near Ranger

September 1977 late afternoon on a bright sunny day Ranger, Eastland County, Texas 2 witnesses

Account

In 1977 two companions hunting frogs at a remote pond heard a roar and saw trees moving. One saw a large brown hairy form partly hidden behind a cedar tree and swaying. Both fled on foot while hearing heavy thuds, and one saw a large rock bouncing nearby. A few days later they returned and found a cleared limb bed and a limb torn from a mesquite tree, but no footprints due to rocky ground.
