Witness Account:
Well in my case just a visual sighting. I was a good distance away so I didn't hear any sounds.
In the summer of 2003 I had an experience that will for ever be burned in the front of my mind. I was with some family members and a friend, we had went horse back riding on a hunting lease that was not in use due to summertime.
We were riding on the dirt roads crossing through-out the lease, when we came to then end of a road. We then started back the way we had just rode. About quarter to a half mile back I had stopped to look at a dead coral snake I hadn't noticed on the way to the dead end. I was facing towards the dead end, when for some reason I looked up towards the dead end. When from out of nowhere a very large animal (creature) cleared the width of the road from left to right with about 15 ft from one edge of the brush line to the other. It was completely covered in hair that was reddish-brown in color. I turned to the other riders and asked if they had just seen that. They wasn't turned around like I was and was riding in the opposite direction. I told them I just had seen a bigfoot but they tried to explain it away as a cow or deer. I have never seen a cow clear that much distance even at a dead run, I know deer can but this animal (creature) was upright and I could clearly see the motion of the arms like it had made a running jump.
I kinda got the feeling it was tracking us threw the woods or that when I had looked towards the dead end road that we had just went down that something was watching us. I cant explain why I looked up at that particular moment.
Physical evidence:
I didn't go back to where I had seen the animal cross the road. I suppose due to a little disbelief and a little spooked and kinda scared myself.
Additional observations:
A strong, musky iron smell.
Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Daryl Colyer
This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred in Montgomery County, Texas, July 2003.
I talked to the witness about his sighting. He was adamant about what he saw. I asked him to estimate the distance at which he saw the subject. He basically told me that he was not good at distances, but if he had to guess, it was no closer than a "football field."
The witness remembered seeing the "legs splayed" apart and remembered seeing how the arms were displayed in an outward manner. The sighting happened quickly, but the witness was confident that he saw no deer or any other quadrupedal animal. The subject, as he recalled, was not leaning forward in the least, and appeared to him to be completely erect in posture. Because of distance, it was difficult for the witness to ascertain height, but the subject was "at least as tall as a man."
Others in his party attempted to convince him otherwise, but the witness remains to this day steadfast in his conviction that he saw a sasquatch.
