Bigfoot Sightings in Atoka County(Oklahoma)

A local legend is getting new life. In the last two weeks, there were three separate Bigfoot sighting in rural Atoka County. The final sighting included photos that some say is the mysterious creature itself.

Talk to people around Clear Boggy Creek in Atoka County and you will here thousands of stories. But last week, the legend himself, Bigfoot, was supposedly spotted in those very woods.

They have grown up on these woods and know them well. But last week, 13-year-old Morgan Whatley and her 12-year-old brother Garrett came across something strange right across the creek was a creature she'd never seen before.

But the claims of the Whatley kids were passed off as a child's imagination. That changed just days later when a woman in her fifties had to be taken to a hospital. She reported seeing a big hairy creature in her yard and had an anxiety attack.

It's all over the newspaper and on everyone's mind; what was seen at boggy bottom? Some people say it is Bigfoot. Others aren't believers yet.

A local store owner set up game cameras hoping to catch a glimpse. The pictures are below. We'll let you be the judge.

Those are interesting pictures. Not necessarily convincing, but interesting.

Like you said, it looks like a guy with a wolf skin draped over his back. Or one of the sasquatches from the "Messin' With Sasquatch" commercials.

Sort of a Roman Legionaire effect, I guess!

Awfully good quality pictures; did they get Sasquatch to pose?

I realize this idea is not very "Bigfoot Friendly" .... but in the interest of finding out just what the heck these things are .... someone might just take a .300 winmag out in the woods, cook some fish and nail one of these fuzzballs when it comes in for a sniff?

[..or is it because it's all just crap?]

My son thinks it looks like a megatherium, a giant ground sloth, very common in north and south America.

LOL!

Too bad they couldn't get a picture from the front. We could have seen Sasquatches "blue steel" look.
