1964/8/01 - Newspaper Article - 7-Foot Tall Hairy Upright Creature Filmed in Texas

[Trogluddite]

Two men claimed to have filmed a 7-foot tall hairy upright creature on August 1, 1964, near Arlington, Texas.  Their claim was published in various Texas newspapers and their film was aired on WBAP-TV that same night.  News reports say that the film was a little clearer, but made the creature look even more like a ruse.    

 

While this film precedes the P-G film by several years, there is no evidence that news of the film reached the state of Washington in 1964.  

 

Keep checking the new Historical Newspaper Archives for the rest of the story!  UPDATE June 2026: It makes more sense to include the article here as well.
