REPORT RECEIVED: From the GCBRO submissions page as reported in its entirety from Mr. Edward Gray.
 

DATE:  03/15/72

 
TIME: 9pm to 6am

 

LOCATION:    Maydale Tx. Cherokee county.  Just South of Maydale off of hwy. 84 close to the game reserve.
 

TERRAIN: Heavily Wooded area with lots of pine and hardwoods.

 

OBSERVED:  There were about 12 of us out having a party in the woods and when it was getting late, so alot of people left and everyone else was getting drunk.   Then a fight broke out and one of the guys ran out in the woods and passed out so everyone settled down.   All of a sudden something started making noises in the woods like breaking tree limbs and making alot of noise.   There was a girl was out in the woods, taking a walk on a road and she started screaming and running.   We thought she was just drunk, but she came running back terrified of something she had seen in the dark.
She said she seen something on the road that was big and hairy!  We decided that we should leave because she had gotten scared by something, so we got ready to leave.  But the cars were all dead, the battery's were dead from playing the radio's.
We had then decided that Steve was the one doing it, because he was missing.  So we tried yelling at him to come on out but he didn't come.   It got quiet for awhile and we were almost all asleep then all of a sudden  Steve came running and screaming through the woods.   He ran into a fence and cut himself so we ran over and helped him back to the fire.   He said he heard something walk up to him and it had a bad odor that was musky like,  he looked up and seen something big standing over him, he got up and ran back.  We thought he was lying so we put him in the car and went to look.   When we got back we built the fire  up and planned to just wait till somebody came up.  It was down too 4 of us now and everyone was sleeping then i heard something in the woods, it was around 3 am when the noise got real load.  It sounded like great big tree limbs breaking and flying through the woods.   The girl started to scream so everyone woke up and we started grabbing anything we could find for protection.
I have been raised in the woods and i have never heard any noises like that made in the woods before, it was sounding like 10 inch tree limbs breaking and alot of stomping around. everyone was so scared that we made a
circle around the fire and kept it going with big flames.  It would make a circle around the camp site just staying in the dark.  We sat up all night scared too death then it got quiet and when daylight came we realized it was gone , a friend showed up and we left.
The sound we heard was to great for a man to make.  I didn't go back to look so i believe without a doubt that it was bigfoot!!

Activities of Witness:  We were all drinking but that sobered everyone up
 
 

Description of Creature: Big and hairy, bad musky odor
 
 
Other Notes: It was along the same time frame as all the other reports in 1971-72.  They said a gorilla escaped from the zoo but this was way to tall
 
 
 

Other Other Notes: I Bobby Hamilton, personally know this gentleman.  He was very good friends with my older brother.  In fact, Edward and his brother are like another complete set of Big Brothers to me.  If I ever needed them I know they would be there for me.  I also know some of the other people involved in this incident.  I knew all these people back in this time frame, but did not know that they had encountered a Bigfoot until Edward found and contacted me through the GCBRO web site.  I can vouch for his credibility.  If he says this happened, then it happened.  Thanks Edward, I appreciate it and hope to see you again soon.
I also want to note, that in this same general area along the same time period, that I have other reports, listed on this web site that I have gathered from others, of encountering one of these creatures.  I was raised in this same area and know of many tales from friends and family alike of these things being seen in and or around the area.  This is also in the same general area where the local Sheriff released word that an escaped Gorilla was out, after he investigated a sighting, of an 8 foot tall or larger, ape man, that left 18 inch tracks behind.  Sure was a BIG Gorilla huh?
