Sasquatch Sightings

Account

J. Frank McAneny talked to Shreveport deer hunter who said a creature bellowed in answer to a railroad whistle, ran up the steep railroad embankment, crossed the tracks and disappeared in the swamp below. He and a friend described it as long-haired and apelike in appearance, with long arms, running as a human would run on two legs. The most specific of several reports from the same area. Woman who lived there said the hairy man lived on a hill in the swamp, sometimes came to her pasture edge to stare at farm animals with piercing red eyes, and leaves a horrible odour. Location is north of Mansfield. At least three other accounts, one of which is in 1778. McAneny and David Eschenfelder spent a lot of time in the area looking for an old military road, were frightened by screams and something crashing through the underbrush, but never saw anything.
