Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    1986
 

TIME:     Early morning
 

LOCATION:   Fort Bend County, Texas
 

TERRAIN:    Prairie and farmland, a few houses and lots hogs
 

OBSERVED:    Its been quite a while back and I was about 7 or 8 at the time I saw huge humanoid tracks in a small ditch. My father and I were to cut the lawn for my great uncle who could no longer do it for himself. So we arrived very early to visit and then get started on his lawn. After breakfast and while the elders drank coffee and talked, I was bored so I decided to take my pellet gun and walk out to the pasture to see if I could shoot a rabbit. As I walked through the pasture I came across a ditch that had just dried up and in the mud were huge human footprints. I had and still have not seen footprints like this.
They were long and wide, embedded deep in mud, there were just 3 or 4 but I remember trying to fathom how any of my relatives had a foot that large and second why would they even walk through the pasture barefoot. I went back to the house to ask who had was walking through the pasture barefoot when I saw more of the same tracks in a recently dried up ditch close to the house.
 

Activities of Witness:   N/A
 

Description of Creature:  N/A
 

Other Notes:    I was too embarrassed to tell my father about the tracks for fear of ridicule at the time, but 2 weeks later when we went back to the same property to cut the lawn again I told him what I had seen and to my astonishment he told me of an experience he had as a restaurant owner in the 70's. One afternoon a surveying crew came into his restaurant startled and bewildered about something and eventually they shared with him what they had discovered. During a routine survey out in the woods about 8 miles away in the San Bernard River bottoms they came across a set of prints too large for a human to make. The most interesting thing is that the prints were taken in very long strides and they crossed a barb wire fence as if they just stepped right over it. From what I understand plaster casts were made of the prints and they are currently at the Wharton County courthouse. The San Bernard River bottoms are being torn down at an alarming rate these days so I doubt an intelligent creature would still be around there.
