LOCATION:   Kiamache River, Pushmataha County, near Atlers, Oklahoma
 

TERRAIN:    There was was a bridge that went across the river.
                 It ran from Atlers to the river.
                 There was was a lot and trees on the other side.

OBSERVED:
Well it happened when I was 10 years old.  I was swimming and I was about in middle of the river and I heard something behind me on the other side.  Well I turned toward the sound then I saw it standing upright on two legs, like a man, but covered in brown hair.  It stood at least 7 feet tall but I didn't stick around.  I swam back to shore and it went the other way.  I jumped into the truck and  told my step dad get me out there and I never went to that river again but thats what see when you live near muddy boggy that I will never forget it. It scared the hell out of me but I have seen it again two times after that here in California but I am not that 10 year old boy now. But that's my story. I have got a few but they happened when I was 27 years old and I am not that scared of them anymore. In fact, I am very much into bigfoot sightings and I study all of them I can.  It's something I can not stay away from it.

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESSES: I was the only witness, swimming

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE: It stood 7 feet tall covered with brown hair all over its body. It walked like a man on two legs but that's all I can remember. It was a long time ago.  Didn't smell anything.  Wind was blowing away from me.  I heard from other people in and around Atlers who also had seen something the same as I had but that's all I remember from that time in my life.

OTHER NOTES:  Well it appeared to be as scared of me as I was of him and he was a male but I was that close to him.
 

OTHER SIGHTINGS IN THIS AREA:Yes I have seen other bigfoots two times here in California and found tracks in the area where I live.
