Witness Account:
I was fishing on Clear Creek off of Sherman Dr. in Denton Tx.. It was around 10 pm and the moon had not come up yet. I had my back turned towards a gravelbed. I heard something very large jump the creek and then run along the edge of the creek towards me. I had a 22 rifle with me and I fired it into the bank next to me. Then the animal jump up the bank and it was at least 15 feet staight up. I was scared almost to death when it stopped right above me in the woods. I gathered my stuff and started walking, in the water, towards my car.I kept catching glimpes of it threw the trees against the sky. It was huge and was walking up right. I never did get a real clear look, and dont know if I wanted one. But the woods stopped about a hundred yards from my car and thats where it stopped. I never went back down there at night by myself again.
Sounds:
I do remember hearing it breathing.
