Oklahoma Bigfoot Rumors in Cherokee County

Since the 1970s several newspaper articles have mentioned possible Bigfoot sightings in Cherokee County, Oklahoma. The Cherokee County Sheriff's Department investigated a Bigfoot on August 1, 1990, east of Tahlequah in Eldon. A smelly, hairy animal eight to ten feet tall was reportedly seen walking in two locations near Eldon, Oklahoma, by multiple witnesses.

One witness was a woman in a mobile home who heard sounds and smelled something foul. She was shocked by the sight of a tall, hairy creature when she went to investigate. She immediately contacted the Sheriff's Department, and Deputy Joe Weavel began an investigation. Weavel discovered 18-inch-long foot impressions near the mobile home.

Two days later, an 8-year-old girl and her mother reported seeing a similar creature rummaging through a trash pile near their home. Their dog chased it but returned with its tail between its legs. The creature was described as being 8 feet tall, with dark brown frizzy hair, and walking upright. Joe Adair, district chief of the Oklahoma Wildlife Department, said he had received several calls about the animal and he believed it was a bear.

He stated that he had "nothing to base that on" and that it was unusual for a bear to walk on its hind legs for an extended period. Local law enforcement and wildlife officials investigated the reports and concluded that the subject was most likely a bear, even though the descriptive profile did not match a bear.

On the 18th of November 2001 two women near Green Leaf Lake encountered a Bigfoot in the town of Zeb in Cherokee County. They were driving on a dirt road when something crossed the road in two strides, stepped over a ditch, knelt, and did a half-body turn. It did not just turn its head, but it turned its entire upper body and stared at them.

“It was creepy because it looked at us, stood up, and ran into the trees,” one of the witnesses said. They were taken aback because it was so unexpected. The creature was about 6 1/2 feet tall with long dark hair except for the face area, which resembled a human. It had a thick build and its arms and legs moved differently, not like a monkey scurrying around. Its thick arms and legs were in stride and moved together. It was incredible how smooth and fast it moved.
