Daylight encounter in a strip mine gully near "Big Brutus" (tourist attraction)

The witness was walking ahead of her husband toward a fishing spot at a strip pit when a very loud screaming began just behind her. She crouched and covered her ears as the screams repeated, then heard the source run, jump a creek, and crash through brush and small trees on the far side. Her husband, who had been following behind, heard the screams and joined her to watch the vegetation move as the creature left. They left the area without returning for prints after rain washed the site.

Teenager hears vocalization and has encounter with smelly creature outside window

In 1987 the witness was lying in a basement bedroom with the window open on a cool late-summer night. She heard a loud unfamiliar howling and screaming vocalization that frightened her and her dog, followed minutes later by heavy footsteps outside the window and on the deck plus a horrific odor. She sensed something pacing in front of the window as if looking in before leaving, then heard the same vocalization again and closed the window.

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.
