On This Day in Weird, July 6...
1977: Three witnesses at the Abilene Boys' Ranch, near
Hawley, Texas, claim a threatening encounter with a local Bigfoot dubbed the
"Hawley Him." Teenage campers Tom Roberts and Larry Suggs allegedly
suffer the attack, with one rock striking Suggs's leg. They flee to a nearby
home and return with resident Renee McFarland, armed with a rifle, firing one shot
at the beast before it escapes, leaving behind 12-inch footprints and a
"rotten smell." Many other locals report sightings of the monster during
1977, but hunting parties fail to track it down.
