Incident #991472
Harrah, Oklahoma Cty, Oklahoma
Jan 1978
Account
Edwin Howard and family were picking up pecans along the North Canadian River, when he saw a very big, dark coloured man standing by two trees. After a short time the "man" walked away. Later Howard decided that it could not be a man, since it wore no clothes, was too big, and had very long arms. He went back on Feb. 5 and found melted-out tracks near where he had seen the creature. After more searching found some that were almost 20 inches long. Searching some more the following day found good 13.5-inch tracks in a shaded area, some still showing the toes, and made a cast.
