A listener writes “My name is Corey and I am from Oklahoma. I have a friend who is a game warden with the Oklahoma Fish and Wildlife Department. He has asked me not to give his name, so I will not. My friend recently has had an encounter that he shared with me and I asked if I could share with your show.
He told me I could, just to not give his name. Anyway, the encounter took place in southeast Oklahoma around the Antlers city area. My friend received a mountain lion in a wooded area that was stalking some people who were out camping. He arrived on scene and the people were packing up their things to leave.
My friend asked, “What’s been going on?” The man replied, “It’s just been walking around our camp and growling at us every now and again it’s scared my wife to death and we are leaving now.” The couple got in their truck and drove away. My friend had his rifle in hand and was just standing next to his truck in the open area they were camping in. My friend told me it was a lot quieter than usual…and something seemed off. Like something was watching him. He of course assumed it was a mountain lion.
As he was listening, he said he could finally hear it begin to move. He told me it sounded off. I asked what he meant. He said it sounded like it was walking on two feet…not four paws. And it sounded much heavier than a mountain lion. He flipped the safety off his rifle ready to shoot, just in case. He sat there still listening and as it kept pacing back and fourth, he told me he heard a growl. Like a deep from the gut growl…not like a mountain lion growl…but much deeper sounding.
He grabbed his high power flash light and was about to shine it in the direction of the sound, when from about 50 yards behind him he guessed he heard a loud roar…and he said the roar was so loud he almost actually fell over…he said he froze for a little bit…and he said that’s when he heard some footsteps coming towards him. He flipped on his flash light and about 20 yards in front of him was a Sasquatch…he described me the details…it was about 8 feet tall, broad shoulders of about 4 feet wide, long black hair and a squished nose like an ape…he also said this thing looked so muscular…like a giant body builder and he could see the biceps and triceps and they were just massive.
Like this thing looked like it had bowling balls on its arms. He said he pointed the rifle at it and when he did the creature didn’t move. A few seconds after he pointed it at the creature in front of him, he heard the one behind him roar again. But this time it sounded much closer. He said that’s when he feared for his life, he jumped into his truck and hauled his ass out of there as fast as he could.
My friend has been a hunter all his life Wes. He knows what’s in the woods and what sounds creatures make. He said he’s never seen or heard what he saw and heard that night…he’s so scared he won’t even go camping by himself anymore which he used to do all the time.
Anyway, I just thought you’d like to hear this encounter. Wes, I’ve heard some stories about encounters in Oklahoma. I believe Oklahoma is actually a Sasquatch hotspot in a way. I was wondering your opinion on Oklahomas Sasquatch stories. Feel free to share this story online. If you have any questions, please email me back. I’d really love to hear from you.”
