January 2007 Heavener, Le Flore County, Oklahoma Class B #24967

Off-duty law enforcement officers describe vocalizations, wood knocks, and rock throwning, outside the town of Heavener

Two companions camping with a companion's child heard ape-like calls and slow loud knocks near a creek in the evening and knocked back with logs. Rocks were thrown into camp, and at night something bipedal walked around and brushed the tent while making sniffing sounds at the seams. The activity continued over several days with more distant knocks that seemed to approach, another large rock landing near the witness, and an ice chest found opened.

Unidentified sound near Cloudy, Oklahoma (2000)

After the fire died the witness lay in the tent and heard loud breathing approach, stop behind the tent blocking moonlight, shuffle the cooler, then sniff at his head. He yelled and hit the tent, after which it urinated on the tent, hollered loudly and left breaking and twisting high pine branches. Next morning he found large compressed impressions and damaged branches.

Footsteps near Nowata, Oklahoma (1998)

The two hunters arrived late and set up camp and a tree stand in darkness in a hollow bottom. One hunter returned alone to retrieve a phone and heard pacing footsteps, a very loud voice repeating a name, and a laugh, then saw a huge dark shape in tall weeds and fired twice before fleeing. Both hunters were then circled for hours by fast-moving unseen things that stayed out of flashlight range, threw out a poisoned hot dog that was quickly taken by something running on two legs that coughed like a person, and found the heavy welded stand ripped from the tree in the morning.

Movement only in Oklahoma (1998)

After the shots both hunters stayed by the fire and heard several things circling the camp for an hour or two, staying outside flashlight range. The witness threw a hot dog soaked in antifreeze into the woods, something moved quickly on two legs to grab it, then coughed and hacked deeply while moving away. The circling stopped and the coughing presence slowly retreated until near sunrise.

Memory told of having rocks thrown while in a tree stand near Murphy

The witness arrived before dawn to bowhunt from a tree stand overlooking a creek. After sunrise the surrounding wildlife fell silent, several rocks were thrown toward the stand from behind, followed by loud footsteps, branch breaking, heavy breathing and a musky odor approaching to within a few yards behind the witness. After remaining behind the witness for several minutes and emitting a snarling growl, the unseen presence retreated uphill, after which wildlife sounds resumed and the witness left the area.

October 1982 Park Hill, Cherokee County, Oklahoma Class B #40280

Memory told of a possible encounter that ends a camping trip early near Park Hill

While camping with fraternity companions near a river at night, the witness and two companions went to gather firewood near a brush-covered hill. They heard something large moving through dense brush toward them, breaking branches, with heavy bipedal-sounding steps and a musty stagnant-water odor. After retreating to the campfire and later returning with additional group members, the group heard rapid heavy steps approaching and fled in a vehicle, without ever seeing the source.

Camper says a sasquatch entered a cabin of sleeping girls.

During a church retreat campground stay, the witness lay awake in a top bunk on a stormy night after lights-out.

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.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma (1975)

The guest's grandparents noticed meat and vegetables disappearing from an outdoor wash house over several days. One night the family smelled a strong musky odor in the living room, and the grandmother saw a large hairy figure squatted outside a picture window. The guest's father chased it as it hopped yard fences, snapped a railroad-tie post, and disappeared over a hill. For about a week afterward the grandmother heard something tampering with the wash-house door at night.

Woman recalls her nighttime face to face encounter at her window outside Tulsa

Late at night three girls were lying on a bed by an open screened window talking quietly. After hearing footsteps and bushes rustling, a tall hair-covered creature placed its face at the window inches from the witness and stared for several seconds. The witness screamed and the group fled to another room, after which police searched but found nothing. The witness later said the creature matched descriptions of bigfoot she heard.

Movement only in Oklahoma

Three separate visitor groups noticed a large unseen mover: the son-in-law heard something charge through the forest while stargazing, the sister-in-law heard a large animal run in daytime, and strangers saw movement off the trail. Separately the witness listened with a parabolic dish hearing limb snapping, brush movement, and metallic banging as if the cabin area was being torn apart.

Footsteps in Oklahoma

After setting recorders and cameras, the witness got a 20-minute recording of something walking around, touching, and repeatedly pulling a bungee-mounted recorder without damage. Game cameras captured possible high eyeshine and a night video where the background distorted as an unseen shape moved toward a tree stand.
