Lost hunter has encounter with mangy looking bi-pedal creature

18 October 1980 about 2 P.M. Winnsboro, Franklin Parish, Louisiana 1 witness

Account

The witness had been hunting with a relative and became lost for most of the day. While walking along an old road bed in the afternoon, the witness heard a noise and saw a tall, thin-haired bipedal creature about 50 feet ahead. The creature stood and looked at the witness for a few seconds, then turned and walked back into the woods, glancing back once. The witness then fled and made it out of the woods about an hour later.
