Witness Account:
I was on the dam in Land of the Lakes near Woodville, TX. I was lying down on the dam about half way up eating corndogs I had bought at Sonic in Kountze on my way up to Woodville. I heard like what sounded like branches cracking in the brush below at the bottom of the dam. I lifted my head and and saw these big eyes in the brush and looking like something was eating the other corndogs I did not eat and threw at the bottom of the dam. I couldn't tell how big it was but I know it looked like a man with hair all over his body. Very dark outside but enough light to see a little bit. I saw it pick up what scraps I threw before I saw it and it went slowly into the brush walking backwards watching me as it went back into the woods. I got up and ran to my truck which was parked by the boat dock on the other side of the road and left very fast from being scared.
