Oil well owner and rig hand have road crossing encounter.

April 2000 4:00 pm Taft, Muskogee County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a coworker were driving when a tall hairy biped carrying an animal carcass over its shoulder crossed the road ahead of them from east to west during a rain squall. The crossing lasted only a few seconds before the creature disappeared into a creek bed. The next day they found partial footprints along the creek bank but lost the trail in dense undergrowth.
