Additional Notes and or Follow up
Comments: GCBRO Follow-up Investigation
Bobby Hamilton and Jim Lansdale accompanied
by their son's Jake, Brenden and Brady, met with the witness
and his son on 04/05/2014. We was shown the area in
question, and found a few possible impressions. We
spent all afternoon in the area up until dark. Just
before dusk set in, we actually spotted several creatures in
various portions of the wooded area beside the river.
One stood on the other bank approximately 125 yards away and
looked in our direction. It was jet black in color,
had the crest on the top of the head, weighed approximately
300-325 pounds. What was noted was there was other
people fishing on the other side of the river, and they had
no idea this creature was standing up on top of the bank
back in behind them not more than about 90 yards away.
There was some cat tail type weeds and it would stand in
between them and stare in our direction for a while, then
step back in the woods and disappear. Then show back
up in between these weeds again to stare at us some
more. There was also a large slab of concrete that was
washed out in underneath. There was actually one
sticking it's head out from under the concrete looking to
see if the coast was clear so it could exit. It
was also dark black in color. On a subsequent trip,
several different sized tracks was found. Plans are
being made to return to the area for a more in depth
investigation.
