TX COUNTY DATE TR100 J. Frank McAneny REPORT Some years ago I filmed a television news story of one of the first Big Foot encounters in nearby East Texas. A young boy walking home from school literally ran out of his shoes when a huge hairy creature stepped over a four-foot high fence swinging its long ape-like arms toward the frightened youth. He described it to sheriff’s deputies as gorilla-like with large feet and covered with black hair. I searched the area for footprints and discovered some very unusual prints leading up an embankment. These resembled a chimpanzee footprint, but with six toes. According to local zoologists these prints resembled no known animal’s.

TX COUNTY DATE TR100 J. Frank McAneny REPORT Just a few months later, a woman living in the area reported having seen a dark hairy creature lurking near her peach orchard at twilight, apparently attracted to the fruit. She placed some fruit on the fence the following night and the creature quickly devoured it. The woman discussed the matter with me only after much persuasion.

* Jim Hewkin reports a lady telling him of an incident 10 years ago near Sam Houston State Park, Texas (near town of Cleveland). In the early morning on the way to work while it was still dark, she was coming around a double "S" curve and her headlights caught a creature in the roadway 100 feet ahead. It didn't move like a human, as it swung its whole body. It was real big, heavy and brownish. Later her husband found indentations in the mossy area where the thing had walked. There was another sighting a few days later.

TX DENTON 1990 TR#79 33 20N 097 01W * Posted to Internet. In late May 1990, at the Cooke Mountain springs, Texas, where group was camping on north side of Ray Roberts LAKE. At 12:30 AM went fishing and friend mentioned felt something watching us. Trees were moving behind us, and we took a mag light and looked at the treeline and adjacent field. Heard loud screeching roar from the trees, and saw something plow through the trees. Later, they came back with guns and again saw the thing in a spotlight running from them. It was about 8 feet tall, stood straight up with it’s back to them and ran, stopped to look at them. Friend shot with shotgun, and appeared to have been a good hit in the middle of the chest, and it made another intense roar, pushed a cottonwood tree over (8 inch diameter). Group left the area. We have not seen it in the nine years since.

Her father said these kind of tracks are common down there in the desert flats. The tracks went a ways going south. They were a half inch deep. The weather was 107 degrees all week, with flash floods one night. The only trees are ten feet tall with mesquite bushes eight feet tall. Frank Kaneaster observed and photographed the tracks, but were too light to reproduce here.

Lady, husband, two girls 6 and 9, were at open pasture and walked to small pond. Behind there was loud crunching in brush. Later while target practicing in a deep ravine, after shooting, large animal lunged into ravine only 10-15 feet away, and all ran to car, the creature following, stopping in brush in front of car. Creature was grayish color, hair 5-6 inches but not thick, wide shoulders, very long upper arms, thighs long, short neck and round head...more human looking than the blocky thick shapes of drawings. There were tales of a Bigfoot from the Caddo Lake area, though the block head had brown hair and was thick through the middle

TX COUNTY 1998 TR#74 Bobby Hamilton of the Gulf Coast BigFoot Research Organization (bobby@iamerica.net). says Bigfoot is active in SE Texas. Five weeks ago he was in a very secluded area when he found a two week old footprint (based on rain damage). It was 18” X 8 1/4”, 4 1/2” across the heel, five toes showing. Also in the same area on a Farm to Market road, Feb 19th, at 1:30 AM witness was following an 18 wheeler when a large two legged dark colored creature crossed the road between him and the truck. It was huge and fast, and perhaps 8-9 feet tall. It had crossed the road very fast. While in the area, Bobby interviewed a local, and was told that three months ago about 11:30 PM his dogs started acting up and when he went outside, they just about knocked him over running into the house. On the edge of his property, he saw a large hunkered over shadow turn and enter the woods. Later he heard something make deep moaning sounds and heard a scream like nothing he had ever heard, causing the hair to stand up on the back of his neck. Bobby is still investigating these reports, and is keeping the location quiet.

A black figure on the side of the road was rolling on the ground like it was trying to scratch. Witness was driving truck and trailer with a lot of lights, and with high beam on, at 60 mph. The 6 1/2- 7 foot very broad creature stood on hind legs and started walking east to west towards him on the left side of the road Eyes reflected light. The creature was covered with black looking hair with a reddish cast, flat nose and forehead, and arms long, almost to the knees. As witness passed, it jumped up and down on side of road, hitting its chest like an ape. It did not run off into the woods like one would expect. If not so wide, witness would have thought it was a man in a suit.
