Incident #991887
Hallsville, Marion Cty, Texas
1976
Account
Unnamed woman said she and her son had been frightened from a blackberry field by a creature that came from the bushes breaking trees and bushes in its rush. Zollie Owens got permission to do a stakeout, using corn and other food as bait. After some nights he and a friend saw a huge, silver-coloured creature and a smaller one, 'obviously female' with red-tinged hair. One, at least, shucked corn like a man.
