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.

June 2001 El Reno, Caddo County, Oklahoma Class A #3964

Wooded, rural, lake house scene of late night encounter

The couple was outside their house late at night calling for their pet cat when loud hoot-like calls started nearby and multiplied into many very loud varied screams and laughing-like sounds that built to a crescendo then stopped abruptly. After a period of silence with rustling and a loud snap, they got into their car to leave. While driving away they saw a large dark upright figure with glowing yellowish-orange eyes near the road and noticed a strong musk odor.

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.

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.

Late at night the two hunters walked through a dark hollow to install a heavy metal tree stand. The witness felt stalked and heard something pacing him very close on two legs. While installing the stand he fell from the tree, kept hearing movement in nearby brush, and both hunters became disoriented about the direction back to camp.

Large unseen creature intimidates fishermen

The witness and a companion were fishing in the evening when they heard loud breathing and grunting sounds approaching from across the river. Animals and birds were seen moving away from the sounds while branches were seen and heard breaking nearby, followed by a loud splash. Believing the source was upset by their presence, they left the area and the witness reports not returning to fish there.

1 October 1983 Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma Class B #56829

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon

Three hunters camped in a river bottom over the opening weekend of bow season. Over several days and nights they reported heavy impacts, rustling, a skunk-like odor, red eyeshine, wood knocks, whistles, talk-like mumbling, a whoop-ending vocalization, and bent trees and branch structures. The most intense moment was a predawn episode with a deep guttural roar followed by a scream-like sound near camp. They left early after smelling the odor again near a plum thicket.

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.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma

A resident described repeated booms that shook his brick house, later finding cracked and pulverized bricks high on the wall. On another night he shone a spotlight into a field and saw a large gray figure moving very fast and low like a spider on fingertips and toes. The account was retold by a visiting investigator from his show interviews.

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.

Scream in Oklahoma

The witness was alone in an inner tube fishing under a full moon when he felt dread and heard a scream and bushes moving. Several large mesquite trees were shaken from the base at once while he felt rumbling pressure in his chest. He kicked to shore, abandoned his gear in waders, and drove out through brush.
