Location:

Форт-Уэрт, TX

United States

Jack Harris saw a tall, white, furry creature cross the only road that ran through the area around the lake worth Nature center. He tried to photograph the creature, but his flash failed. Then he took a second hasty picture.

The creature ran up and down the cliff as other cars pulled up, eventually 30 or 40 people gathered to watch the creature.

Many of the onlookers were armed with guns, and when it seemed that people were ready to pursue the creature, it grabbed a spare wheel with a rim and threw it at the cars of the watchers. Obviously from a distance of more than 500 feet (152.4 m).

The creature looked like a man, but it was whitish-gray and hairy. It was estimated to be at least 7 feet (2.1 m) tall and weighed about 300 pounds. It gave a " plaintive cry."

The creature was seen again, shots were fired at it, and a trail of blood was found at the edge of the lake.
