Witness Account:
I did not witness this. My mom was telling me what she saw. but would not submit a report for fear of feeling stupid and not sure what she saw. They live off of Lake Palestine just across the first set of bridges going out 315 from Chandler, Texas. She was looking out of her kitchen window into a very large field that has cattle and sometimes deer. She was looking for deer out in the field when a group of deer ran into her field of view as if spooked by something. The animals stopped and all looked tword the tree line in the distance. My mom looked and saw what she described as a animal on two legs moving across the field tword the lake running parellel to the wood line. The wood line is several hundred yards from here house. She could not make out a lot of detail, but knew it was not a man. She did not know if it was walking or running just knew it moved faster than a normal human walk. It was in the high 30's that morning and a light wind.
Sounds:
She was inside
