DATE:
July 18,1998
TIME:
Around 5:00 P.M.
LOCATION:
Bordering Hunt and Hopkins County
near Lone Oak
TERRAIN:
The soil type in this area is Crockett
Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes, Nahatche Loam, frequently flooded, Axtell
loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes, Axtell Loam, 5 to 12 percent slopes.
All soil types listed above are soils which can support a wide variety
of plants and animals. Wetland wildlife would not survive well on
these plants, but would support a large amount of wildlife supported by
a hardwood forest habitat. All water runs swiftly from the area,
and gathers in creeks, and small drainge ditches which run to nearby lakes.
This information gathered from the U.S Dept of Agricultures Soil survey
of Hunt County. In other words it is perfect for Bigfoot!!!
OBSERVED: This report is done in complete detail by Luke Gross. I am merely going to fill in a few empty spots to complete the story. So when you get to the spots that mentions Bobby and I, then you will know why it is stated s such. In getting to this location we exited off Interstate 30 East onto FM 2649 we then jtraveled approximately 5 miles until we came to Farm Road 3217. Turning left we now were driving East. We continued driving East at a very slow rate of speed, scanning the sides of the road for possible Bigfoot tracks.
The roads were very dry, even though there had been a small shower pass through the area the day before. The raindrops had left their impression on the dry dusty road. The only type of tracks to be found would have been shallow dusty track, which I have found many of, but not good for casting, but only good for making notes on how they walk, and the length of their strides.
As we were driving, we began to approach the area where Bobby and I had the nightime encounter at. (my Bobby's account of this event is) This was months earlier we heard a strange sound scream out late at night. Then something large came thru the woods and before it got to us Luke hit the spotlight too early, scaring it back into the interior of the woods.
At this point we had crossed over into Hopkins county. Anyway we drove past this area into an area I never knew existed. The road we were driving was a new road, which had hundreds of freshly cut trees along side of it. I guess you could call this road a logging road. It looks as though they are clearing the land for possible home sights. We scanned the sides of the roads for tracks seeing an occasional deer track, and horse tracks which made looking for tracks even more difficult.
We had thought we spotted a couple
of tracks, but turned out to be washouts from the small shower. We
continued driving, and finally Bobby spotted something on the side of the
road! Yes there is was, a track on the side of the road. Obviously
made during the last hard rain that came through. It was not a great
track, but you could see the heel, and where the toes touched down.
It was not in good shape. The track
measured 15.5 inches long, and
7.5 across the front of the foot. The rest was erroded. Bobby
took a photograph of it, and should have it ready to send when he finishes
useing the roll of film.
(my note again) this photo didn't
show much detail of the track at all, so I don't wnt to waste any web space
by posting it.
We did not cast the track because of it's delapidated condition. The photo would do more justice than the cast would.
We hopped back in the truck and continued driving. We then came to a highline clear cut about 200 feet across. The clearcut runs Northeast and Southwest. When we entered the clearcut we were heading North. Bobby thought it might be a good idea to drive up the clearcut road to look for tracks. We would be heading into the sun, and the tracks would show easily on the road with the reflection of the sun.
We entered the clearcut heading
West, but had to turn around because of some fallen trees that blocked
our path. Bobby turned around and headed East on the clearcut road.
We were just crossing the road we entered on and looked up the clearcut.
At 5:30 pm about 1/4 of a mile away was 2 tall dark things standing
on a hill in the clearcut. I asked Bobby if he seen them. He
said "yeah, I was wondering what the hell they are?"
One was standing on the left
side of the highline clearcut, and the other was standing under the highlines.
Bobby scrambled for his binocular's while I kept an eye on them.
In a very short while it became clear that they knew they were spotted.
The one on the Southeast side of the clearcut began to head towards the
tree line. The other followed about 15 seconds later. We were
still looking for the binos, but they had
soon disapeared into the treeline.
We both sat there in aw, at what we had just seen. The disapointment
followed soon after, realizing that we were not prepared for this.
This is a discription of what we had seen that day. I will also describe the areas food sources, and soil types, trees etc.
The color of the Bigfoot/animals were of a darker color, being the shade of dark brown to black. The width being impressive for them. At that distance it would be hard to make a correct judgement of height or width. My guess would be the one on the left being a height of APPROXIMATELY 8.5 feet, and the one on the right around 6.5 feet. As I said before this is only a guess, but it could be close.
Another intresting note was the movement of the animals. It looked as though they were gliding across the ground. They were appeared to be bent a little forward at the waist, and not much arm swing was observed by us. The speed was Incredible. It took approx 10-12 seconds for the bigger one to travel from one side of the clearcut to the other. This impressed me most of all!!!
The clearcut area was approximately 200 ft. across. Based on this observation; covering 200 ft. in 10-12 seconds, taking the longer period of time, 12 seconds, and dividing that into 200 ft, you get 16 ft. 8 inches per second. Figuring the average stride to be 1/3 second in duration (three steps per second), this would make the stride of the creature approximately 5'6" per stride. Again, this is an estimate based on observation. These measurments fall within the range of the strides between tracks I have found in the Lone Oak area. Most impressive I must say.
The plant life of the area is very jungle like. You would almost believe you were in china in a Bamboo forest. This area is overgrown with cane! This would make me lean towards the cane eating, that has been described by some. Hardwood trees, wild grapes, bamboo, Hickory trees, Black walnut trees, Dew Berries and several other edible plants.
Bobby and I believe that
they are being pushed out of the area due to the clear cutting that is
going on. I would venture to say that this area is a hub of activity
on the weekends, while the worker are away. The area will be destroyed,
and they will move on to another area that is less populated.
Description
of Creature: The
color of the Bigfoot/animals were of a darker color, being the shade of
dark brown to black. The width being impressive for them. At
that distance it would be hard to make a correct judgement of height or
width. My guess would be the one on the left being a height of APPROXIMATELY
8.5 feet, and the one on the right around 6.5 feet. As I said before
this is only a guess, but it could be close.
Other
Notes: We did not get to
investigate this area any further due to Luke's departure from the group.
I am sure that if he spends anytime in that area searching, he will find
more on the creatures up there.
