Siege of Hobia: Bigfoot Shootout in Rural Oklahoma

In a remote corner of southeastern Oklahoma lies the unincorporated community of Honobia, a place that has been plagued by Bigfoot tales for over a century. Nestled in the water-rich public Backwoods at the lower regions of the Ouachita Mountains, this area is steeped in Bigfoot mythology. It's no surprise, then, that the Humphrey family, who purchased a property in the area in 1997, found themselves at the center of one of the most shocking and violent Bigfoot events in contemporary lore. The so-called Siege of Honobia began in the fall of 1999, when the Humphrey brothers began experiencing a series of bizarre and savage occurrences on their property. At first, they assumed that poachers were to blame for the disappearance of five deer carcasses and over 30 chickens. But when the brothers started hearing strange howls, screams, and hammering against their front door, they knew something more sinister was at play. As the nights grew colder, the situation became more perilous. The family's children claimed to have seen strange figures standing at the tree line, and large unseen animals growled at them from the property's bushes and tree lines. The family's dogs behaved strangely, as if they were afraid and refused to enter certain forest trails. And then, in the dead of winter, a community member vanished without a trace just down the road from the Humphrey farm. The final straw came when large rocks and stones were hurled at the family's homes walls and roof in the middle of the night. The wives and children were terrified and unable to sleep, and the brothers knew they had to take action. They introduced different light barriers on their property and fired warning shots into the air, hoping to scare off the nighttime Hunter. But the situation only escalated. One night, the 3-year-old brother's daughter was screaming and crying in her room, claiming that a huge and monstrous gorilla was staring at her through her window. A few nights later, the family's niece was targeted at the farm's main gate, describing the aggressors as various enormous hair-covered animals that looked like upstanding walking gorillas or Neanderthals. The brothers armed themselves with assault rifles and began firing at the tree line, determined to protect their family and property. And then, one night, they saw one of the creatures staring through a house window. The brother fired multiple shots, striking the animal three times. But as it fell to the ground, several other creatures emerged from the tree line, screaming and throwing rocks at the brothers. The situation became a shootout, with the brothers firing at the creatures and the creatures throwing rocks to destroy nearly all windows and multiple attempts to enter the house. Towards the break of dawn, the animals vanished once again into the Backwoods. The following nights were even riskier than the months before, as the animals now clearly attempted to get hold of the brothers or to go into the house. The brothers stood their ground, determined to protect their family and property from the mysterious creatures that had taken over their land. This fascinating and terrifying story is captured in a YouTube video from the channel M.A.T.S. If you're a Bigfoot believer like us at Squatchable, it's a must-watch. The video provides a chilling firsthand account of the Siege of Honobia, and it's a reminder of the mysterious and sometimes dangerous creatures that lurk in the Backwoods of Oklahoma.
