Sasquatch sighting in Texas

The witness, then a teenager, drove to a ranch at night to hunt raccoons with a dog. The dog acted fearful, livestock were huddled, and the woods were silent before a foul odor, heavy thumps, a branch break, growls and a scream occurred. The witness then saw large red eyes and a huge upright figure at close range, froze in terror and prayed, then fled to the truck without clear memory of the retreat, later finding the dog on the road and abandoning the rifle.

About 1960, the submitter's husband and two school friends were spending a weekend night inside a relative's cabin when they felt watched and saw a tall hair-covered figure silhouetted by the open refrigerator light. The boys shouted and split up to flee to the car, with the husband reporting something running close behind him that he could hear breathing and smell strongly like moldy skunk. In hindsight he wondered whether the figure was also fleeing and had simply taken the same path.

After his vehicle became stuck in snow on a high peak in February, the witness hiked miles at night to get cell reception and arrange a rescue. During the hike he found a freshly torn small coyote skull with no tracks, smelled skunk that vanished, and heard sounds like large trucks with no roads nearby. Weeks later his lost emergency locator showed movement and an SOS, and searches found a branch nest with a large X nearby and a trail camera that later disappeared.
