Account
J. Frank McAneny talked to Shreveport oilfield worker who said he saw a black, hairy creature standing in the brush watching him as he did maintenance work. He got a rifle but decided not to shoot, as it was on two legs, and after looking at him a few moments with piercing red eyes it disappeared in the woods. Within three miles of incidents in 1777 reports.
