Witness Account:
While out night hunting one night a friend and I came across a large two legged ape looking creature squatted besides the road. When my friend shined his light into its eyes it stood, snorted and turned back into the clear-cut. We got out of there as fast as we could also. The ground was a hard pack. We were shining a spotlight from a truck shooting rabbits. No other animals were seen along this stretch of road that night which was strange. It was real quiet just before this happened.
Sounds:
Just a snort was all I heard. I once heard a sound like a baby crying or a wounded rabbit at Holly Bluff one night and I have heard a high pitched whistle several times while fishing the Angelina and Neches rivers.
Additional observations:
I had a rotten smell inside my truck the next day.
