Incident #992995
Georgetown, LaSalle Cty, Louisiana
1998
Account
E.H. returning from work in the afternoon rounded a curve on a gravel road and saw a 6 to 7-foot creature est. over 300 lb. cross the road about 3 utility poles ahead. Creature was brownish red, hunched over, arms pumping like a sprinter, moving very fast. Never looked at car. No odor at site and ground too hard for footprints. E.H. and his wife had seen a brownish creature crossing a pipeline clearing in the same area in 1976. They live about 6 miles into the woods. Exploring the area Scott Kessler saw and cast a 12-inch footprint in mud and leaves, April, 2000. Detail poor, but was deeper than a man could make.
