Class B First-hand BFRO #26711

Couple witness a possible juvenile running on all fours in Smithville

1 October 2009 about 4:30pm in daylight Smithville, Le Flore County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were driving on a dirt road in daylight when they noticed a sweet but dead-like odor. Shortly after rounding a curve they watched a small dark short-haired quadruped cross from left to right into the woods. They stopped and looked but saw nothing further and could not identify the animal, later interpreting it as a possible baby Sasquatch.
