Incident #992897
Texarkana, Bowie Cty, Texas
1978
Account
Tracy told Todd Pascarella that he and their friend Tony when bicycling in the woods had parked in an area dimly lit under the tall pines when they heard a noise 100 yards up the trail, looked and saw what "looked like a big man in an eskimo coat." The creature looked their way then took off running through the woods. So did they. Insufficient description for identification, but included because of related material in 2896.
