Nighttime sighting in a backyard in Round Rock

On a Friday evening the witness was at home writing music when he heard a loud howling-hoot and noticed his dogs were agitated.

Multiple incidents reported by multiple hunters near Sam Rayburn Lake

Coon hunters observe large, hairy "monkey" in pin oak

Late at night in 1963, the witness and four companions were hunting raccoons with dogs in a creek bottom south of Tyler, Texas. After the dogs treed something, the group illuminated a large reddish-furred animal in a pin oak that was howling and screaming while waving its arms and shaking limbs. After someone fired at it with a .22, it growled and the group fled with the dogs back to their vehicles.
