Summer 1979 Bosque County, Texas Class A #1527

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.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
