Drugs and noodling don't mix. Image Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0 Carlstak Back in July 2022, we reported on the bizarre case of a man who had murdered his friend because he believed that he had summoned Bigfoot and had intended to feed his body to the creature.

The incident had occurred along the South Canadian River in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma where the two men - both 53 - had been noodling (a form of fishing using only the hands).

According to reports, one of the men had become convinced that his friend had intended to summon Bigfoot from the forest, kill him and then float his body down the stream as food for the creature.Suffice to say, there had been some drugs involved.

"He appeared to be under the influence of something," Sheriff John Christian said at the time.

Now following a trial in Oklahoma, the defendant - Larry Sanders - has been charged with the first degree murder of Jimmy Knighten during an methamphetamine-induced psychosis.

He now faces life in prison without any possibility of parole.
