Class A First-hand BFRO #3964

Wooded, rural, lake house scene of late night encounter

June 2001 around midnight El Reno, Caddo County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

The couple was outside their house late at night calling for their pet cat when loud hoot-like calls started nearby and multiplied into many very loud varied screams and laughing-like sounds that built to a crescendo then stopped abruptly. After a period of silence with rustling and a loud snap, they got into their car to leave. While driving away they saw a large dark upright figure with glowing yellowish-orange eyes near the road and noticed a strong musk odor.
