Camper says a sasquatch entered a cabin of sleeping girls.

Summer 1977 night, after lights-out Wilburton, Latimer County, Oklahoma 2 witnesses

Account

During a church retreat campground stay, the witness lay awake in a top bunk on a stormy night after lights-out. She heard the screen door open and shut, smelled a foul odor, heard heavy shuffling steps and breathing with a soft growl behind her bunk, and felt something large and furry trace her face. She next remembers waking on the floor, and the next morning a bunkmate said she had seen a big black hairy creature standing behind the witness.
