Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    March 2003
 

TIME:     Around 11:00 pm
 

LOCATION:   St. Martin Parish, Louisiana
 

TERRAIN:    Swampy
 

OBSERVED:    While on patrol I witnessed something walk across the road at the edge of my headlights.  The creature walked on two legs but slumped over slightly.  When the creature crossed the road walking from the bayou side of the road to the swamp side of the road it stopped and turned facing my approaching patrol unit.  I was traveling approx. 20 mph due to the road being lime stone and very curvy.  As I approached the creature I turned on the white take down lights of the light bar and noticed that it was from seven to eight feet tall.  It was covered in reddish brown fur.  As I approached the eyes shined red in the light like those of a deer.  As I slowed my patrol unit down to see who or what it was I realized that it was a bigfoot type creature.  I am a Deputy Sheriff and I work alone and I am by no means a small nor easily frightened person, but when I realized what I was looking at I sped up and left the area.  I did not return.
 

Activities of Witness:   Normal patrol in the area
 

Description of Creature:  7 to 8 feet tall with shaggy reddish brown fur covering the entire body with the exception of the face.  The eyes glowed red in the light like those of a deer.  The windows of my patrol unit were up and the radio was on so I did not hear or smell anything out of the norm.
 

Other Notes:    My father who is from Oklahoma is the only person I told about the incident.  Upon telling him of the incident he related a story to me that he heard in Oklahoma in the early 1960's which involved a strange screaming creature in the Little River Bottoms near Broken Bow Oklahoma
