Time / Conditions: 4:30 AM — My headlights shined on it as it crossed the road. It was a cool night because I had my windows rolled up in my pickup. Rock quarries, hills.

Witness Account:
In March 2001 at 4:30 am on my way home from work, on the back roads, something crossed in front of my headlights. This "thing" had long hair, long arms, between 6-7 feet tall and traveling fast. It crossed the road in front of me in 2-3 steps. It stepped over a fence and went into a coastal field out of my vision. It was grayish color but everything in that area is covered in rock crusher dust so it could have been any color. This "thing" was not as hefty as in the pictures, but he was tall with long arms. He stood on two feet like a human with long arms and didn't run but was lumbering across the road.
I told others at my work about this and two other men saw the same "thing" on April 12, 2001 about 1 mile from where I saw it. My boss saw "it" when he was a young man and stated it screamed like he had never heard before and couldn't mimic the sound it made. We are hesitant to speak about this but what I saw that morning was something I have never seen before.
Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Daryl Colyer
This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred in Wise County, Texas in March of 2001.
Even though it had been over two years since the incident reportedly occurred, and I interviewed the witness in a cold-call fashion, he presented himself in a very credible manner.
As he had stated in his initial submission, the witness was getting off work and coming home. It was approximately 4:30 a.m. when he noticed something up ahead standing on the side of the road. The witness?s first impression, in an instant, was that of a cow, as his mind attempted to rationalize what he was seeing. However, the witness then noticed that it was upright ?like a human.? At that moment, it occurred to the witness that he was seeing something highly unusual and as he approached to within 50 feet, the subject completely crossed the road in just a few long strides.
The witness stated that at that time he believed that he was seeing a ?bigfoot.? He said that it did not make sense to him, but there it was, very plain and there was no mistaking it for anything else. It was tall, in the witness?s own words: ?approximately six to seven feet in height.? The witness remembered the eyes having a reflective color, but he could not distinctly remember it exactly. The witness stated that what he saw was definitely gray, to which he attributed ?dust from rock crushing.? Apparently there is a large facility nearby that crushes the limestone rock found in the area. The rock crushing has the effect of giving dark colored objects a gray or off-white hue. The witness went on to say that the hair of the subject was ?long but wasn?t shaggy.? The witness said that the sighting happened so quickly that he was unable to discern any other details relating to face, hands, feet, etc.
The witness stated that the subject cleared the road and stepped over the fence that ran parallel to the road, disappearing into the darkness. The witness said, ?I started to turn around, but I just went on home.? The witness stated that it surprised him more than anything and that he was not frightened.
Summation: Two years had lapsed since the witness reported this sighting, but he was still able to talk to me in a very confident and compelling way. He was not hesitant at all in telling me of the encounter, even though he had endured some skepticism from his friends and co-workers. I asked him if he had entertained the idea of a person in a costume. The witness unequivocally stated that it was a real animal and without question what he saw that morning ?was a bigfoot.?
