Incident #991878
Lake Worth, Tarrant Cty, Texas
1969
Account
Sallie Ann Clark, with Garry ? and Allan Plaster, saw creature squatting by a bush at the edge of the gravel pit about 15 feet away. They got in their car and honked their horn and it left, walking through a barbed wire fence. Measuring a limb where it stood up gave a height of 7.5 feet. Clark spent many weeks in hunt and had four sightings. This was the best. Plaster took a picture of the creature on an earlier occasion, a blurred white shape apparently sitting down or standing in long grass, by spotlight. Interesting.
