Gas field trucker has encounter at well head near Aledo

A saltwater hauler working after midnight at an oil-field tank site reported seeing glowing red eyes above a 9-10 foot fence during an unusually quiet period with a skunk-like odor and a low growl. The figure moved out of view and then threw about five tennis-ball-sized rocks toward the storage tanks, with two striking the nearest tank. The witness felt intimidated and left the site, returning the following night to look for the rocks.

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.

A sighting by two hunters

In 1979 two companions were squirrel hunting along a dry creek bed in late afternoon when their dog became agitated and ran off. They then saw a very tall dark silhouette standing on the high creek bank about 80 yards away that stepped behind a tree and did not reappear. Frightened, they left the creek by a low spot and returned home, finding the dog hiding under the house.

Boy sees a bigfoot while clearing land

As a teenager plowing bottomland alone, the witness stalled his tractor while turning under a tree. He then noticed a large dark bipedal figure along a distant fence line leaning side to side and moving a branch aside as if looking at him. After watching briefly he fled, managed to restart the tractor, and left; when he looked back the figure was gone.

The witness slowed, stopped, turned around and searched the area with headlights but found nothing further.

Two brothers have early morning encounter

On a bright early morning in summer 1972, the witness and his brother were sleeping at home when the witness noticed a large shadow at the window that remained about five minutes. After the brother woke and made a noise, the figure turned, showing a flat-faced profile and hunched posture, then walked away and was seen from the back door as covered in dark hair. The figure paused when they struck the glass, then continued leaving. A day later they found tracks behind the house leading toward the houses.

Couple parked on dirt road encounter hairy, man-like creature

Late on a full-moon Friday night the witness and a companion were parked and talking on a dirt road beside pine woods when the witness felt watched and saw a very large hairy man-like figure hunched down staring through the driver-side window from about six feet away. The companion screamed and the witness drove away to safety. The witness later returned with companions and again the next day, but the main close encounter lasted only a flash.
