Night time sighting truck driver near Clear Boggy Creek

YEAR: 2004

SEASON: Fall

MONTH: October

DATE: 12

STATE: Oklahoma

COUNTY: Atoka County

LOCATION DETAILS: Right before a bridge about 10' south of a sign that reads Clear Boggy Creek, came from a field on the east side to a slight hill and sparce woods on the west side of the highway. (i could take you to the exact place.)

NEAREST TOWN: Caddo

NEAREST ROAD: US Highway 69

OBSERVED: This sighting happened over 1 year ago. I happened upon your site recently, although I did write to George Noory about the sighting 10 months ago.

I am a truck driver. I was headed north on US Route 69. Another truck was passing me and his cab was just about 5 feet from the front of my truck. Off to my right I saw a something running towards the road. The other truck locked up his breakes and I slowed down to keep from hitting it. It took only 2 steps to cross both lanes of the highway, went down the median and crossed the southbound lanes.

It ran upright and held its arms to its side as opposed to having its elbows bent like a man would . Its hands where down to its knees. It was covered with dark hair I'd guess about 6 or 7 in long. The "thing" glanced our way as it ran and seem to have dark or black eyes. It was taking long strides and was slightly bent at the waist. The hair on its legs seemed to be longer the the rest of it's hair. I say hair and fur as it flowed as it ran. It was able to look straight into my cab so I would estimate it was between 7 and 9 ft tall.

ALSO NOTICED: Us 3 drivers stoped talk on the CB and met at a small truck stop 10 miles north on Rt 69 (3 arrowes t/s ) and talked about what happened. They said they would not report it but it was OK if I did.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 other witnesses the other north bound driver and a driver of a south bound truck.

OTHER STORIES: no

TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was about 1:30 AM there was a misty rain and patches of light fog although it was not foggy at that point

ENVIRONMENT: Ran just north 30 ft a field on the east it came out of with rolls of hay. Across the old abanded road over Rt 69 to the west side up a slight hill into a sparce wooded area.
