Multiple incidents reported by multiple hunters near Sam Rayburn Lake

The witness's husband was hunting alone from an elevated stand on the evening of November 18, 2019. He heard a series of loud vocalizations, howls, knocks and gibberish-like sounds from dense brush, with a second individual answering from down a draw. After he shouted a warning and fired a shot toward advancing growls, two unseen creatures charged through the brush chasing him to the road, where they stopped as he fled to his truck.

Tall hairy figure leans out from behind a tree to observe woman outside San Antonio

While cleaning a construction office trailer around midnight, the wife stepped outside and saw a tall hair-covered figure watching from behind a tree about 25 feet away. She stared for a couple minutes as it leaned to look around the tree, then ran inside. The couple checked the area with headlights, saw nothing, waited in the dark, and heard whistling and rustling before leaving. In daylight the next day they found nothing that explained the figure.

Woman recalls seeing huge bigfoot creature from a boat on Lake Livingston

The witness was riding in a rented boat on Lake Livingston with five companions when she felt watched from shore. She turned and saw a tall black hairy block-built figure staring at her for a few seconds before it stepped sideways into dense forest. Its departure shook trees and flushed birds, and the companions heard the crashing but did not see the figure; the group declined to go ashore to look for footprints.

Hunter observes 6' tall hairy figure near a creek

While deer hunting alone in a swampy lease, the witness noticed movement in a brush pile and whistled. A large dark figure moved away toward a creek, crossed without an audible splash, and was seen again briefly about 100 feet away on the far bank. The figure walked on two legs and then moved silently out of sight, leaving no footprints on damp leaves. The witness found a large decayed log apparently moved at the first location and then returned to the truck.

While riding bicycle, teenager has afternoon, close encounter not far from Trinity River

As a boy riding his bicycle home on a trail through the woods on a hot clear afternoon, the witness felt watched and then heard brush thrashing as something kept pace with him. He raced to a more open trail and looked back to see a very tall, shaggy reddish-brown creature with dark bare facial skin standing at the tree line watching him. He reported a horrible stench filling the air and an absence of normal forest sounds, saying the sighting lasted about half a minute and left him avoiding the woods for months.
