Class A First-hand BFRO #26554

Man has nighttime sighting of two bipedal creatures behind his home near Mannford

8 September 2009 about midnight Mannford, Creek County, Oklahoma 1 witness

Account

The witness was outside in the driveway on a cell phone call around midnight when they noticed two dark figures moving across a moonlit field. The larger figure, estimated at 7-8 feet tall, watched the witness while walking with an apelike gait and swinging arms, accompanied by a smaller 4-5 foot figure that appeared to forage. After crouching in tall grass, both figures moved toward trees and darkness to the southwest, and a rock or object struck a nearby shed as the witness went inside.
