Erith County Bigfoot spotted by motorist 1995

Witness Observation -I was on my way to Gatesville traveling south on US 281 just south of Stephenville when I topped a hill and noticed something at the edge of my high beams crossing the road. It appeared to be a large man, possibly a hitch hiker? but as I got closer it turned towards the truck continuing to walk in the ditch. This thing was approximately 8'ft tall and covered in long hair. It appeared to have long hippie-like hair and somewhat of a beard. From what I could see this thing was very big as all I could see was from itss thigh up and it still towered over the top of my truck. 

As I got closer the one thing that really got my attention was the eyes. They appeared a yellowish green and only slightly shined. The nose wasn't like a pig's nose but more human with flared nostrils and the face seemed very human like in its expression. It had a very large upper body and chest. It appeared to have no neck as the trapezius muscles kinda flowed into the head. As I passed I checked my rearview and could see it turn into the brush. I checked my brakes and started to turn around but then thought what am I doing, thinking my eyes and the early hour of the morning were playing tricks on me and I continued on to Gatesville. The rest of the way I kept trying to figure out what I had seen. Was it a man, a hitchhiker, a transient, or an animal? I tried to put it out of my mind but could not quite let it go. I told my wife only after 3 or 4 years had passed and I got that look, so I never told anyone else until I found this website and found how many other people have had similar experiences. The witness added to his report that the subject's hair color was "sort of a mottled grey-brown color, and that it was considerably taller" than his truck (a 1991 Ford Ranger pickup). 

It was approximately 5:30 AM when he spotted the subject in his far distant headlights, moving from his left east to his right, with a rapid stride, while walking across US 281. The witness said it crossed the road with about three strides and was standing in a ditch to the west side of the highway. Arms were down to just above the knees and the subject watched him as he passed. He stated that he traveled about a quarter of a mile down the highway trying to decide whether to turn around and go back to see if he could view the subject more clearly. However, after giving it some thought, he voted in favor of continuing on to Hico, and perhaps a hot cup of coffee to clear his mind and to ponder what he had just seen.

The witness remembered that the subject was not carrying anything in its hands or arms. He recalled that its face was "human-like in its shape with its hair a salt and pepper effect but brownish in color." He described the eyes as a yellowish green with a slight glowing effect. As he approached the subject, it remained standing in a ditch along the road. The witness estimated the ditch to be three to four feet in depth and the subject was estimated to be standing just about mid-thigh level in the ditch. The witness also noticed that the hands were human-like in appearance, but covered with hair.
