Sighting on Brazos River near Lake Whitney

BFRO YEAR: 1990-92 Between 1:00 and 2:00 pm Rio Vista, Johnson County, Texas

Account

A group fishing and swimming from a sandbar noticed a large hairy human-like figure on a distant limestone cliff ledge. The figure jumped between ledges and waved its arms for 5 to 10 minutes, then jumped into a gully and disappeared. The group later hiked to the area but found no tracks in the rocky terrain.
