Witness Account:
i was 14 years old heading to the sabine river boat launch called mouth of mcfadden in joaquin texas, Panola county tha blacktop road is about 1.5 miles long after a mile or so it drops down into tha swamp bottom b4 the river. as soon as we came down the hill into tha swamp part of tha road wut i think was a big foot-skunk ape ran across tha road. hairy, big hands im guessing about 7.5-8ft tall. we told everyone we saw this and no one ever beleived us. now on a different location where i live in timpson tx i had placed a corral type hog trap in a pine plantation during deer season in 2008. i had recently killed a buck and just to see what id catch i put tha remains of the deer after he was dressed in this trap and put a camera on it. i got one picture of a hairy arm dark chocolate in color reaching down over there trap to tha carcass. these pannels are chest high on me and im 6'2. ive lost the sd card that the pic was on since then. i duno if this will help with your research any bigfoot is just something that ive beleived in for years and my grandmother was indian and raised in south louisiana in the swamps and she was alwayz told there jus like one of us respect them. i watch finding big foot on tv every night and i jus thought id send yall an email with my ecounter. thanks
