Incident #992892
Livingston, Polk Cty, Texas
1964
Account
Gene Gaston went with friend Doug Jones and Doug's mother to a rural cemetery in a pine forest in the East Texas Big Thicket country. Leaving flowers at gravesite, heard a crash at the edge of woods and saw a large, dark, hairy creature standing at the back fence 50 yards away. Mrs. Jones screamed, the creature gave a loud grunt and shuffled back into the woods, kind of a half waddle, half trot.
