5 Texas Urban Legends You’ve Never Heard Of

You’ve probably heard the usual Texas ghost stories, but there are other legends out here that don’t get talked about for a reason. From winged creatures to haunted highways,  here are the untold Texas legends that will make you look twice the next time you’re driving through the backroads.

Said to lurk through remote parts of Texas, this thing’s described as a bear-sized creature with glowing red eyes, horns, and a scream that sounds like a wolf’s howl mixed with a hyena’s laugh. Locals call it a bad omen and swear anyone who’s seen it will supposedly meet death soon after.

Drivers on this stretch of highway report everything from a phantom truck tailing them at night to a “Devil’s Sedan” that vanishes on sight. Oh, and don’t forget the girl in the white dress who waves for help, then suddenly disappears.

Back in the 1850s, a Comanche woman supposedly owned a goat the size of a calf with rose-colored horns and a strange, glossy coat. Scientists think it was just a mutation of a red wolf or calico hybrid, but others swear it wasn’t from this world.

In 1953, three people claimed to see a man with bat-like wings perched in a tree watching them. Then the sky flashed bright, and he was gone. More people reported the same thing , whether it was hysteria or something else, nobody ever figured it out.

People say they move like shadows on stilts; tall, spidery, and too quiet to be human. They look terrifying, but the few who’ve seen them up close say the feeling isn’t fear… It’s calm and peaceful.
