Daylight sighting by ranchers on the banks of the Canadian River
Account
The witness and a companion were gathering cattle on horseback near a river at dusk when their horses and the cattle became agitated and the horses bolted toward the riverbank. On the sandy bank they saw a tall figure squatting, which stood up and watched them for about 30 seconds before running into the trees, breaking a small tree as it fled. The witnesses returned the next morning but found little sign due to overnight rain.
