π Description
Hi, my husband is a belly dump semi truck driver in athens texas , he was on state route 1253 heading towards a 4 way stop garden valley as he was driving around 10am on November 18th it was a clear sunny morning he looked over into a clearing near a wooded area and saw a dark hairy man or something about 200 feet from the road walking at a steady pace with arms swaying beside its body the creature was about 6 foot or a little taller my husband was going about 60 miles an hour but slow enough to get a really good glimpse of whatever it was he didn't tell anyone at work because people really don't believe in sightings like this he just told me .the sighting is in smith county Texas the clearing had about three foot of dead grass and tall dense woods a joined the clearing area he didn't see any cloths on this creature and it didn't have anything in its hands Thier we're no cars or trucks near the area he asked himself many times if he really saw what he saw but it was clear as day and he still can't believe it after almost 50 years of over the road trucking this is the strangest thing he's ever seen if your organization has any questions feel free to contact him . Thank you, Patricia Yarian [See 11/12/25 update below which includes the interview with the trucker witness]
