Four friends saw and heard 8 foot creature plow through the trees while they were out fishing

The witness and companions returned at night to the same lakeside spot where they had been frightened the night before. They heard a distant roar that suddenly sounded a few feet away, lit the area with a spotlight, and saw a tall upright creature with its back to them that ran and then paused. The creature roared again when shot at and pushed over a green cottonwood before the group left.

Youth has sighting near bridge

In late 1976 the witness rode a dirt bike to an old bridge site on the Red River and stood watching ice drift by. He heard dogs chasing something across the river and watched a large dark hairy biped run and leap over a fallen log while the dogs pursued it. One dog yelped and fell silent, the other retreated, and the frightened teenage witness fled home on his bike.

Biology teacher's experiences around "the 1893 Bridge."

A teacher and companions are said to have encountered a tall creature on at least six occasions near an old bridge in Cooke County, Texas. The encounters occurred at night from a vehicle, with the figure seen as a tall silhouette in headlights and heard making threatening noises while moving through brush. On one occasion the creature was described as bouncing a limb, whose height was measured the next day, and daytime searches reportedly found bones in the creek. Shots were allegedly fired at the creature without apparent effect.
