Possible rocks thrown and wood knocks 30mi ESE of Tulsa, off Rt. 51

The witness was fishing from a kayak on a pond at dusk when a large splash occurred about 15 feet away toward the shore. No movement was heard and no creature was seen.

1 December 2015 Nashport, Muskingum County, Ohio Class B #50393

Two deer hunters experience a likely week-long encounter near Nashport

Two companions camped while hunting for five days near Dillon State Park. On successive nights they heard tree knocks from multiple directions, whistles, whoops, loud yells and screams that approached the camp, growling near the camper, and banging on vehicles in a nearby junkyard. By day they found numerous large human-like footprints in a shallow spillway and on a sandy bank, which they photographed with boots for scale. They reported no visual sighting but concluded the sounds and tracks were from a large, athletic creature.
