Witness Account:
I was fishing at lake fort phantom, Sea Bee park actually. We can hear lots of coyotes and the occasional deer rabbits ect. My buddy told me the stories his dad told him and told me what he saw a few years back on the bridge but... I did not beleive him. Last night it was hot kinda humid so I went fishing. I was sitting on the bank and I saw something in the water about 50 or so yards away. I thouhgt it was a dead log or something standing in the middle of the inlet, anyway when it reached the opposite bank it stood about 6.5-7 ft tall. Of course it was dark. I flashed it with a spot light then relized it was hairy. Yhe part that struck me odd was how the lights reflected off the eyes kinda yellow. It took of in a run toward the lake not really a run but kinda jog. I went to the truck and grabed my 357 revolver. in case it came back I forgot all about fishing.. about 3 or so in the am. I heard something behind me the coyotes long stopped yelping and no deer in sight. I turned toward the tree line and started flashing it. I started to get scared when these grunts and rocks started being thrown from the east bank an hit the ground and water. I turned to the directions then backed to my pick up darting my light in each direction . when I got to the truck this little hairy looking shadow ran to the bank and across to the otherside. I live in a smaller town and dont want to be known as a nother bigfoot guy like my friend. He went out this morning to see what he could find im to nervous about going out there. He called and said he may have found prints but not sure.
