Child watches fawn being chased near Canadian River

October 1992 Afternoon Byng, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma 1 witness

Account

When the witness was eight, she followed her barking dogs from a camper toward a fawn and encountered a tall, smelly, reddish creature. The creature looked at her, stepped over a tall fence while the fawn ran underneath, and did not catch the fawn. She was left in shock and unable to speak, and later drew the figure for her father.
