Warren James Jr., duck hunting, parked on Red River Road and started to walk towards a hummock of land above the flood water in the fields when about 100 feet away a black creature, close to 8 feet, jumped up and ran off through the water. It ran easily in water thigh high on a man. James ran back to his car and fled in shock. John Beckjord later found 100 yards down the field indistinct tracks 2.5 inches longer than his boot, seemingly barefoot, and deeper than human tracks, coming out of the water to the road.
