Oklahoma Bigfoot in Atoka County

On the 8th of February 2008 a Bigfoot sighting in Atoka County, Oklahoma was reported to the North American Wood Ape Conservancy. During the Spring of 2007 a family that had a farm in the town of Tushka in Atoka County dealt with heavy rains and an ape-like creature.

They first encountered the creature when they noticed their horses avoiding a grove of trees where the horses normally grazed. The mother decided to investigate and she saw an ape-like creature with white fur. The creature was about six feet tall and stood on two legs but ran off as the mother approached.

A couple of weeks later the two sons saw the white creature under a tree in the front yard. When they approached the creature growled and then ran. The creature ran on two legs across the pasture, and jumped a fence. Then the creature began running on all fours and headed into the woods.

The next day, the family went to investigate. The pasture had a trail of bent over grass and weeds that they followed to the Muddy Boggy River Bottom which is half a mile from their farm. They found prints in the mud near the river of hands, feet, and knuckles about the size of a large human or an ape.

The next few weeks passed without incident except for the rain, but a week later at night when the mother stepped into the front room of the house when she saw the creature through the front window. The mother was startled and apparently so was the creature because it ran off after being spotted.

After two months the rain subsided and the family never saw the creature again. The family reported the sightings and Jerry Hestand a Bigfoot researcher investigated. Hestand believed the family to be honest and reliable, but was unable to retrieve any physical evidence of the creature’s presence in the area. He believed the creature might have been trapped in the area near the family’s farm due to the river flooding.
