Coon hunters observe large, hairy "monkey" in pin oak

Late at night in 1963, the witness and four companions were hunting raccoons with dogs in a creek bottom south of Tyler, Texas. After the dogs treed something, the group illuminated a large reddish-furred animal in a pin oak that was howling and screaming while waving its arms and shaking limbs. After someone fired at it with a .22, it growled and the group fled with the dogs back to their vehicles.

Possible vocalizations heard periodically over the years outside Lexington

The witness reports hearing a very loud, chilling howl and scream repeatedly over many years while living on forested family land. The sounds often occurred in early evening after unusual silence, frightened family members, and caused dogs, horses, and goats to react. Despite multiple hunts nothing was found, and years later the witness felt internet recordings of alleged sasquatch vocalizations matched what the family had heard.

A man has heard similar cries in the night for over 15 years that were noted in another BFRO report from the same location

The witness, a long-term resident of an apartment complex, reports repeatedly hearing a very loud, somewhat high-pitched howling or screaming sound from the heavily wooded area behind the complex on warm spring, summer and fall nights over many years.
