Nurse has roadside encounter with "very large, dark figure."

After finishing a long work shift, the witness was driving north on Highway 259 in the early morning. In patchy fog near wooded roadside, she noticed a tall dark furry figure standing at the edge of the woods beside a group of trees. She estimated it was about seven feet tall and believed it was not human because of its size. Frightened, she continued driving without stopping for a closer look.

Night time road side observation

The witness was driving slowly back into a rural subdivision at night in sleet and ice with bright lights on. The witness saw a large hairy mass the size of a large deer on the roadside that stood up, took two steps, dropped to its knuckles and lunged into the woods. A relative riding in the vehicle did not confirm the sighting, and a same-night search with another relative found nothing. After being iced in for three days, the witness returned and found a single footprint, which was stepped in and destroyed.

Sasquatch sighting in Texas

The witness walked with two companions past the camp at night toward a big tree with a cross structure after hearing a tree slap. Small trees flew as something charged like a freight train, and the witness stopped it with a green laser to its eyes. Under a floodlight they saw a huge black-haired standing creature blowing through its lips, which then left, and next-day measurements suggested about nine feet tall with large footprints.

Footsteps in Texas

The witness returned with a friend and camped, heard footsteps by the tent at night, then walked alone across the creek on a foggy morning. He found a footprint, droppings and a dead smell, listened to heavy breathing behind a thicket for hours, heard a vocalization and a stick hitting a tree, then saw a head peering from behind a large pine. He viewed it through his rifle scope, saw teeth, then walked toward the trail as it left on two legs, and it paralleled him back toward camp.
