Amazing Bigfoot Story From the Early 1500's in Texas

Texas has a lot of bigfoot history, but did you know that the first European to step foot on Texas soil left with a bigfoot story? Neither did we!

"According to the Coahuiltecans, fifteen years before Cabeza de Vaca’s arrival (This would be sometime around 1519-1520) a hairy, man-like creature began to attack their village at night. The Indians described the being as a “Bad Thing,” which Cabeza de Vaca recorded in Spanish as “Mala Cosa.”In many ways, the Indians’ description of Mala Cosa fits our modern image of a sasquatch. Hair covered Mala Cosa’s face, setting him apart from the Coahuiltecans, whose Indian ancestry prevented them from growing beards. Also conforming to our perception of bigfoot, Mala Cosa was strong, strong enough to lift an Indian dwelling into the air and toss it to the ground.
