Incident #991481
Eldon, Cherokee Cty, Oklahoma
Aug 1990
Account
Jeannie Moore was in her mobile home when she heard something outside and smelled a horrible smell. She looked out and saw a huge creature standing next to a shed. She called her children inside, and the creature jumped a 4-foot fence, flat footed, and loped off down a hill to the woods. Deputy Joe Weavel found two impressions down the hill, wide enough to put both of his feet in, and could see more going on down, but did not choose to follow.
