Oklahoma Bigfoot sightings

[Magical Realist]

When I first heard of Sasquatch being spotted in OK, I was skeptical. What are they doing there of all places? And where do they hide? Come to find out Eastern OK is quite wooded and hilly. And a research expedition that lasted up to 120 days over 3 years turned up some amazing evidence, from rocks being thrown at their cabin at night to apelike vocalizations and wood knockings and footprints:

Here's another encounter noteable for it's detail and frankness:
====================================================================
"One of the most noticeable traits I have noticed over the years concerning the cryptid critters we call Bigfoot is their individuality, which in my opinion shows that they are not that far removed from us in the family tree. Some of them are almost cowardly acting, in spite of their powerful physique and tremendous strength, while others go to the opposite extreme of putting on an aggressive, threatening display that can be downright terrifying to the witness. Somewhere between these extremes are the Sasquatch that act like they are surprised by, and quite curious about, this virtually hairless critter they find themselves confronted with.

It was a Bigfoot falling into this last category that Brenda — a pseudonym — encountered when she stepped out of her rural Delaware County, Oklahoma, home on the Monday afternoon of Dec. 26, 2016.

“I stepped out of the back door to put out some scraps for our two dogs and noticed that they did not run to me to get fed like they always do, but were just standing there looking toward the edge of the woods that is only about 30 feet from our back porch,” she said in her email.

“They were not barking and one of them was even wagging his tail a little bit. I looked up to see what they were so fascinated with and almost dropped the bowl. There stood a large Bigfoot, just like he had stepped out of the pictures I had seen on television, just a few feet from the edge of the trees. He was just staring at me with his head cocked a little bit, like he found me to be just as unusual as I thought of him as being. The relaxed way he was standing kept me from feeling any fear at all and — take my word for it — that was not normal for me.

“We stood there looking at each other for at least a minute and maybe a little more, and then it was kind of like he had satisfied his curiosity and turned around to leave. Considering the brush he was going through and the number of leaves on the ground this time of year he was rather quiet for something that big. He turned around a couple of times to look back before he got too far back into the woods to see anymore.

“To describe it, it was probably at least six and a half or maybe even closer to seven feet tall and stocky built, but not pudgy. The hair was black and about 3 or 4 inches long all over, but a bit longer hanging down from its arms and a lot longer on its head. The neck was very broad and short, and the top of the head above the forehead was taller than on a person but not extremely so. There was a distinct brow ridge and the eyes were white with the black in the middle, and no other color. The overall impression I got was that it was between a large ape and us, but a lot closer to being human. It may sound corny, but there was intelligence and curiosity in those eyes.”

I called Brenda not long after receiving her email and had a pleasant visit with her. Little new information was gathered aside from the fact there was no odor detected and the couple had never heard or seen anything out of the ordinary in the area prior to this close encounter. I came away thoroughly convinced that she had described her experience honestly and as accurately as possible, with no indication of exaggeration.

Over the years I have investigated several Bigfoot sightings in the northeastern corner of Oklahoma — Ottawa and Delaware Counties — and have noticed a very distinct trend among them. There are virtually no even slight indications of aggressive behavior to be found in any of them — no growling, snarling, rock-throwing or threatening approaches. It is as if the region is inhabited by a clan of very docile Bigfoot who are just as curious about us as we are about them.

I hope all of my readers had a safe, happy New Year’s celebration and for those who overdid it, I hope you have fully recovered. I will be back next week with another mystery from the unknown dimensions that surround us."----http://ccheadliner.com/opinion/uptegrove...dd497.html

Grand Lake runs through both counties, with 740 kilometers of shoreline to attract wildlife. Coincidentally, the lake features a peninsula called Monkey Island that received the name circa 1938, before the lake was even built.

To explore the side of cynical motives... Communities that depend upon recreational tourism will often grab onto, encourage, and develop any opportunity that happens along that could stimulate interest and thus build promotional attractions around. Even areas around the neighboring, smaller lakes milk the advantage. Grand Lake News - Strong evidence of Bigfoot found:

"Dozens of Bigfoot enthusiasts turned out for the Bigfoot event at Lake Eucha, June 14-15... [...] “We were taken to several places and found strong evidence of activity on an old road that used to run from Cloud Creek back toward Colcord,” [Larry] Newman added. “The road is abandoned now and there is an old abandoned house along the old road and while we were there we heard some howls and had rocks and other items thrown toward us and hit the house."

Bigfoot hunters : The dumbest people on Earth?

Excerpt: As I will show, humans have shot and killed Bigfoots 35 times in the last 182 years. Humans shoot and kill Bigfoots on average of once five years.

The opportunity of a lifetime. It's even more unbelievable than Bigfoot itself

Of the reported 35 killed there should be at least 2x wounded. Makes for 105 Bigfoot shot in last 182 years or 1 Bigfoot suffers a gunshot wound every 1.73 years. More than likely that number should be close to 1 if you add all the unreported shootings. Of the 70 wounded I would estimate at least 50% die of their injuries. The other 50% would be slightly or significantly less than normal and may be subject to predation being unable to fully take defensive measures. Yet I don't see a single one at the Smithsonian.
