Class A First-hand BFRO #8678

Mother and sons have encounter with unidentified "prowler."

Spring 1981 about 8pm, dark Wilburton, Latimer County, Oklahoma 3 witnesses

Account

In the evening the witness and two family members were at home when a strong foul odor entered through open windows. A relative then saw a large hairy unclothed figure watching the house, chased it toward the chicken area where it carried a chicken, hit a wire fence and leapt over a brush pile to escape. Later a hairy face appeared in the living-room window, a storage building and freezer were found entered, and responding deputies found nothing.
