Child on ATV sees creature on all-fours near Ardmore

April 2008 around 7:00pm, still daylight Ardmore, Carter County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

A grandchild riding a four-wheeler reported encountering a large, long-haired, monkey-like animal on all fours that caused great fright and a call for a parent. The parent rushed over after hearing a scream and saw a tree limb still moving as if just released. The sighting occurred in the evening in a wooded creek area where a noisy group had been riding. The grandchild later said the animal resembled a movie character but with a head bump and was not standing upright.
