Man spots Bigfoot-like creature wading across river in Oklahoma

Bigfoot.

The encounter happened early in the morning while he was driving across a bridge between Tuttle and Mustang.
In a recent sighting submission to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, 62-year-old Jeff Power described an encounter with something unexplained at 8:15am on the morning of August 4th.

He had been heading to work and had been driving on the bridge over the Canadian River when he spotted a large, dark shape wading through the water around knee-deep.

The creature was at a distance of 80-120 yards and was heading for the northern bank.

He noted that it was walking on two legs, but was otherwise unable to make out any details.
Keen to get another look at the creature, he turned his vehicle around and drove back but by the time he'd reached the river, it was nowhere to be seen.

He later clarified that the beast had been "huge" and was "wider than a 50 gallon drum".

As a veteran deer hunter, Power is certainly no stranger to identifying wildlife and whatever this was, it was nothing he had ever seen before.

As things stand, exactly what it was he saw that day continues to remain a complete mystery.

I passed that bridge many times in my thoughts during the past day. Every time I saw a big red firetruck wade through that river on its big black hind wheels. There is no doubt in my mind that I saw Big Hindwheels crossing that water more than forty-two times. It was a dreadful sight.

We get something like this of one of the Earth's rarest creatures in 4K: but nothing even close to this of a creature alleged to inhabit the entire NA continent.

That's why PG added a paranormal factor to Bigfoot to explain how it can often disappear and leave no traces. I'm going to add another factor that postulates Bigfoot has the ability to degrade video quality from 4K to 144p. Occam's Razor or something...

And yet there they are in  high quality video! Not to mention, but I'll mention it anyway, Sasquatch. Nothing forensic, no pictures, no videos no nothing except what people think they saw!

If this person was aware of it, eDNA could be taken from the water where the creature waded. Also, I'm disappointed that the observer didn't look for animal tracks.  Ugh.

Yeah... No picture. No look around. No pic for scale. Really near urban center... More than likely a regular human. Hobo Sapiens as they used to be called. Odds of being a bigfoot... Very low.

With no scientific follow-up in that sighting area, it just gets binned with the rest of the stories that have been told over the years.

I will go with made up story maybe based on a known critters in the water. Couple years back coming home about 230am I see what I am pretty darn sure is a small kangaroo on the roadside, my wife laughs says thats a deer, but we were both wrong, it was a coyote taking a dump, pretty upset we made it crawl back up. What I find disturbing is if some stranger told a deep true believer like drop bear they saw his partner cheating on him would that spawn a divorce or worse? I fear it would.

i thought bears stood on two legs only for some reasons  they don't causally just walk two footed around right ? however there is thousands of these stories of woods encounters for some reason  maybe being in wood, shadows, lightening etc all play role in misidentifying  things  and preception of size etc
