Large hairy biped seen twice, late at night while entering subdivision near Montgomery

The witness described driving into the back entrance of his subdivision late at night on two occasions within the last month.

He reported being scared and said he could give no further detail, recalling no odor or sound during the road encounters.

Observation of a tall figure in a meadow while driving outside New Caney at dawn

The witness was driving to work in the early morning when he saw a very tall hairy figure standing among cows in a fenced meadow, apparently moving toward a calf.

The witness stopped to observe but was unable to photograph it or follow on foot because the land was posted.

Print found in Sam Houston National Forest along Lone Star Hiking Trail

The witness and his father were hiking a loop trail back toward their car when the witness noticed a single barefoot-like impression in soft ash. The print showed toe outlines and an arch, felt as soft as the surrounding ash, and was larger than the witness's own foot. The surrounding ground was harder and held no other prints, and the witness jumping nearby left no impression. The witness concluded no person would be walking barefoot there and considered the print non-human.

Man has night encounter at home just outside Sam Houston National Forest

A short time later the witness returned with a brighter light and companions, saw the blinking eyes again in woods beside the house, then heard movement and a throaty howl as it left.

While riding horse, man has mid-day sighting

In summer 2003 the witness was horseback riding with relatives and a companion on dirt roads through an unused hunting lease around midday. After turning back from a dead end, the witness stopped to look at a dead snake, then looked up and saw an upright, hair-covered creature leap across the full width of the road. The companions were facing the opposite direction and did not see it, suggesting a cow or deer, but the witness remained convinced it was bipedal and erect.

Hiker has daytime encounter in Sam Houston National Forest
