Class B First-hand BFRO #7652

Encounter near Sulphur River not far from Sulphur Springs

May 1978 1:00 pm Tira, Hopkins County, Texas 1 witness

Account

The witness walked down a creek bed on family land and stopped on the return uphill. The witness heard repeated high-pitched screams, first from thick woods ahead and later from behind. The witness saw a patch of dark fur by a tree and later the outline of a large head crouched behind a bush about 20 yards away. Frightened, the witness left quickly for the car without seeing the source again.
