Texas Man is attacked by a 7 foot Beast
The story goes that Danny Sweeten, was inspecting some property that he was contemplating purchasing, carrying a VHS camera and an un-loaded gun in a box. The gun was for a customer and Danny had just rebuilt/modified it, and was going to shoot it to check it out before leaving the property. Danny walked by this creature and was almost beyond it, and he turned to take a second look and saw this creature laying on the ground, propped up on it's left elbow, it's right hand was laying relaxed across it's leg in front of the knee area, and it was running it's thumb across the ends of its other fingertips. In a motion going back and forth. He locked eyes with this creature and stared at it for a little bit, and he said he knew he was going to have to break this off, and he was trying to figure out how. It went through Danny's mind that he was about to be killed by this wild creature, so with the gun being unloaded, and in a box, he just raised the camera to at least film the thing that was about to kill him. As he started to raise the camera, the creature stood up and came towards him, and raised up to full height which was around 7 1/2 foot, it was appearing to show a more dominant stance, then he said it raised its right arm over his head and with the left arm it came up with its fore-arm and struck Danny across the chest, and he thinks he might have been struck by the elbow too. When the creature struck Danny, Danny was knocked down, and two teeth were knocked loose. After striking Danny, the creature quickly retreated, and while it ran away, Danny was able to obtain video footage of the creature. The camera he was using did not have the rubber eyepiece to it, because the owner of the cameras dog had chewed it up, so he never raised the eyepiece, he just looked down the side in a fashion that hunters call "Barrel Shooting" and got the footage. If he had been more experienced he would have been able to have tried the zoom. Danny stated that, as it ran or briskly walked in a bouncy fashion, it was hunched over in a stance that was not much taller than he himself was which is 6'1". Danny described the creature as; Having a crest at the back of the head which angled to a sloping forehead, and he said it appeared as if the face had been lowered down. And it had two ridges of hair running towards the back of the head, from around the eye, the shape of face was heart like, with a blunt chin. The eyes were gray and had a human shape, but sat wider apart than a humans does. The nose was not flat like a gorillas, but a mix between a Caucasian nose and a African American nose. The mouth was basically a human shaped mouth with a little fuller lips, but not lips in human fashion, a little wider and a little different, and he was able to see to front teeth which were big squared off and yellowish and black in color. Hair covered the face except the eyes, nose, and mouth, and was in a fashion like a man with a full facial beard, but the hair came up under the eyes on the cheeks and a little across the top of the nose (the nose part is best he could remember on that). Skin color on face was a grayish/whitish looking color, the palms of hands and the bottom of the feet were more flesh tone colored, like pigskin. Danny stated the ears were human shaped, and it seemed that they were possibly pointed to some extent, but wasn't real sure on this one. Danny said the hands were long, probably about 14" from the wrist to the end of the fingertips. Its fingers appeared to be skinny and very long. Its arms appeared to be a little longer proportionately than a humans. The buttocks were small, the hair on the buttocks was matted and dirty. The feet of the creature were approximately 15-17 inches long with a flat appearance. If there was an arch it was very little, And human shaped as far as appearance. The creatures body was large and bulky with a V-Shaped torso, and a protruding gut area. Even on the gut you could see the stomach muscles and other muscles on the body of the creature. The hair was Brown and Black, hair, the body was a brownish color, and the tops of the hands were black, as well as the insides of the legs from the crotch down to the inside of the knees. The hair appeared to be very coarse hair, like a wild hog's hair, very stiff. The creature was approximately 7 1/2 foot. There was no appearance of a neck., the creature was about 3 1/2 foot wide across the shoulders. Danny stated that the creature was definitely a male, with an average size penis for something 7 1/2 foot tall. The creature had an odor like a bobcat, or wolf. A wild animal smell. It appeared to make deep breathing and grunting sounds, like it was upset it had been disturbed.
ENVIRONMENT: The area has a lot of Pine Trees, possibly called LobLolly Pines, and some hardwood trees and different varieties of Oak, there are also some low land areas in this part of Texas with lots of Palmettos and other swampy plants. The main river for this area is the San Jacinto River which is short distance from the sighting location. Another river close to the proximity is the Trinity River which is approx. 15 miles from the sighting location.
NOTES: The video footage was featured on STRANGE UNIVERSE (A kind of Hard Copy type paranormal show) In November, and the witness was interviewed on the Art Bell show (A syndicated radio show) as well.
There are some aspects of this video that still remain uncertain. The witness, Danny Sweeten, stated that shortly after the filming of the video, someone began stalking him, eventually Danny turned this video over to Strange Universe, to keep the stalker from harassing him.
ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): Surveying property for a possible land purchase. Danny and a friend were going to purchase the land as partners to open a shooting range. Danny's friend is a Law Enforcement officer and he was going to check the property with Danny but he was called in to work early so he dropped the camera off by Danny's house and told him to film the area, so he could see how much timber needed to be cleared off.
