My sighting took place in the fall of 1981 (poss. '82) so I believe it's of no great value, except to record keepers/researchers. My wife and I were heading home for Thanksgiving from Gulfport, MS to Nacogdoches,Texas. We saw this large hairy, Chubaka-like creature walk across the road in front of us near Bon Wier,TX. Our trip began in the early afternoon which put us in S.E.Texas at dusk. The road was unfamiliar so I kept my speed at 60MPH and had my head lights on (1982 Datsun KingCab). Well as anyone who has seen one of these things will tell you; it the last thing you expect to see, as it was in our case. - Location: Approx. 2 miles west of, to maybe half way between Bon Wier and Newton, TX. on HWY.190. I do not recall any houses, side roads, or lights in this area. - Time: 1700-1900hrs (5-7p.m) - Weather: Overcast (possibly occ. drizzle). Both sides of the road had 12-18" of water. I don't remember any fences on either side, just thicket(s) like vegetation. ...
