Journalist and investigator have early morning sighting in Sam Houston National Forest

Two occupants of a Jeep returning to base camp late at night noticed a large, dark, upright figure walking in the road ahead of their headlights. The figure, described as broad, massive and moving smoothly, stepped off into a ditch and into the woods as the vehicle approached. After stopping, one occupant heard sounds in the woods and both then saw a head-and-shoulders shape move quickly between trees before the area went quiet.

Predawn sighting on north side of FM 1375, just east of bridge over Lake Conroe

The witness stopped at the roadside by a lake shore before dawn while commuting to work and noticed a strong musky odor and a woofing sound. A tall dark-haired entity stood up beside the witness, shook a small tree, made a squealing bark sound, then strode past onto and across the road into pines as a truck approached. The witness immediately left the area.

Night time road side observation

The witness was driving slowly back into a rural subdivision at night in sleet and ice with bright lights on. The witness saw a large hairy mass the size of a large deer on the roadside that stood up, took two steps, dropped to its knuckles and lunged into the woods. A relative riding in the vehicle did not confirm the sighting, and a same-night search with another relative found nothing. After being iced in for three days, the witness returned and found a single footprint, which was stepped in and destroyed.

While rowing a boat across a lake in Huntsville Park witness saw a dark animal in the form of a man running away

The witness and a relative paddled a rowboat across a lake toward a fishing trail. As they neared the far shoreline after birds flushed, the witness saw a dark-haired, man-like animal running away while looking back at them. The witness panicked, screamed, and paddled rapidly back to camp without seeing the animal again.
