Class B First-hand BFRO #49909

Family hears possible vocalizations late at night near Ponca City

September 2015 3-4 am Ponca City, Osage County, Oklahoma

Account

The witness and several relatives were gathered on a house's back patio in the early morning when they heard seven or eight loud whooping calls from a creek bottom to the south, followed by the sound of a cow in distress from a pasture across the creek. The whoops were described as distinctive, starting low and ending higher, and were unfamiliar to all present. A relative later compared the sounds to published Bigfoot call recordings and felt they matched exactly.
