Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Michael Mayfield
I spoke with the witness by phone on Sunday afternoon, November 16th. He is a tugboat operator. He and a fellow tugboat operator friend had docked their boats and went for a walk along a road to get some exercise. The time of day was between 4 and 6pm with mostly cloudy conditions and a light breeze coming from the south. The area along where they were walking consists of marsh grasses approximately 2 to 4 ft tall and small brushy trees.
He reported that he and his friend heard rustling through the grass and brush and then saw a large brown animal about 80 to 100 yards away. He could hear a grunting type noise which he attributed to the animal at the time of the siting. During our conversation he said he couldn’t be sure that it was the large brown animal or perhaps an unseen hog. He estimated the height of the animal to be approximately 2-4 feet above the 2-4 feet tall marsh grass. His first thought was that he was seeing an upright bear walking on its hind legs, but noted that this animal was brown, not black. He estimated that the animal traveled about 30 feet before they lost sight of it. During the interview he wasn’t sure if the animal disappeared behind taller brush or if it may have gone down on all fours below the level of the vegetation. He estimated the entire sighting last between 20 and 40 seconds.
After they lost sight of the animal they walked back to their boats. His friend called a wildlife official to ask if there had been any reports of bears and was told they hadn’t had bear sightings in the area for more than twenty years.
