Witness Account:
I live in Nacogdoches, Texas. When these incidents occured I was living on Appleby Sand road. My house set back off the highway and down a hill. I had chickens and was plagued with all sorts of predators, so when I came home I would put my chickens in a second pen for protection. I was working the night shift at the hospital so it was late when I got home every night.One night I started toward my chicken pen when something very large made a deep gutteral roar or growl, it was hard to describe. I stopped dead in my tracks, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I couldn't see, it was pitch black. I waited a minute and decided I just thought I heard something,took another step toward the pen and it made another deep gutteral sound. I knew it was a warning. I went into the house, got my gun and a flashlight , back out to the pen, approaching carefully but nothing was there.I have camped out in many states, heard all kinds of animals, including bears and I have never heard a sound like that. In Dec. 2007 I was preparing Christmas Dinner and was up late. It was approx midnight , I was standing in front of a cabinet facing the back door. I heard what sounded like scratching on the door but it did not register for a min. I finally realized something was scratching on the back door. I leaned over , put my ear against the door and could hear a sort of growling . The scratching was very prominent. That door is about 5 feet up from the ground with no porch. The scratching was at about my shoulders which would have made whatever was scratching about 7 feet off the ground. I was afraid to open the door so I did not see anything. I was preparing a lot of food for a very big dinner so the aromas were strong around and outside the house that night. My daugghter was present both times and was watching me when I came home the night I heard the gutteral sounds. She wondered what I was doing. The ground is hard red clay covered with leaves so I could not see any prints. They have done a lot of clearing since then but those woods run all the way to Timpson. My son my son has friends in Timpson who have seen one crawling over their fence . They do not speak of this to everyone only people they trust who will not think them crazy. They have a name for it in that area but I can not remember what they call it. One more incident or incidents that was unusual to me. A window facing the back area, the area of all the activity, had a screen that kept coming off. I couldn't understand it because when I put it back in it snapped in ans was tight. I looked closer after one incident and noticed what appeared to be and area where something put fingers in to pull. My vocabualry is not good enough to desribe this adequately. I ahve always wonderedd about these very unusual incidents but did not know or have anyone to talk to. I do not understand why people think it so unbelievable that a large creature could exist. Only fools think there is nothing they do not know. They treated the african natives the same way about the mountain gorilla, and look how that turned out. Thank you for listening.
Sounds:
gutteral sounds , between a roar and a growl, very hard to descibe, I have not heard anything to compare it to except maybe a bear but not the same. Also a type gowling, two seperate incidents. Scratching on my back door.
