Man recalls a late night encounter while parking in a remote area north of Splendora
Account
Late on a spring night in 1979 or 1980, the witness had been parked in a truck on a pipeline with a companion for about 45 minutes. After hearing rustling ahead, the witness turned on the headlights and reported a very large hair-covered creature standing a few feet in front of the truck. The witness immediately reversed to leave, and when looking forward again the creature was gone.
