Oklahoma Ranchers Allegedly Shot and Buried Bigfoot Bodies in the 1970s

So I just stumbled across this fascinating video over on the Creek Devil YouTube channel, and honestly, it's one of those discussions that really sticks with you. Host William Jevnik, who describes himself as a two-time witness with over 40 years of field research under his belt, sits down with Chuck from Oklahoma and Forest to dig into some seriously compelling witness testimonies. If you're into firsthand Sasquatch encounters, this one is absolutely worth your time. One of the most jaw-dropping segments involves a story that apparently made the rounds on Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM back in the day. According to Chuck and Forest, two ranchers were out hunting one night in northwestern Oklahoma, near the Red River area, sometime in the 1970s or early 80s, when they came across a pair of Sasquatch — a male and a female. Not knowing what they were dealing with, they shot them. But when they went up to examine the bodies, they were horrified to discover that the faces looked disturbingly human. So terrified of the potential legal consequences, they buried the creatures right there on the property. The rancher was apparently so shaken that he got cold feet about ever excavating the site, and there was talk at one point about Art Bell going out there with him to investigate, but it never came together. Forest recalls the rancher being genuinely upset about how human-like the faces appeared, and even speculated that they might have been individuals suffering from hypertrichosis — a condition that causes excessive hair growth. Whether you buy that explanation or not, the story itself is chilling, and it raises so many questions about what else might be buried out there in rural Oklahoma. But the real meat of the video is Chuck's own encounters, and let me tell you, this guy has had some close calls. He describes being in the Big Thicket area of Oklahoma when he found himself just six feet away from one that was on all fours — and even at that height, its head still came up to his chest. The creature was rocking back and forth in a way that Chuck initially didn't understand, but Forest breaks it down perfectly: when primates do that, they're working themselves up into a frenzy, building toward aggression. Chuck was essentially staring down a Sasquatch that was about to charge him. Forest told him point blank that he was a lucky man to have walked away from that one. Then there's the encounter that honestly gave me chills just reading about it. Chuck was out on an expedition and wasn't prepared for a sudden temperature drop — it went from 51 degrees in the afternoon down to 20 or 22 by the middle of the night. He ended up sleeping in his pickup truck instead of his tent, with his feet on the passenger side and his head on the driver's side. Around 3 AM, something woke him up, and when he sat up to look out the passenger window, there was a massive face staring back at him. Teeth bared in a snarl, eyes locked on, and the outline of the creature filling up practically the entire window. His first thought? "What am I gonna do now? If this thing wants to get me, he's gonna get me." So he laid back down and pretended to be asleep. Forest weighs in on that too, explaining that when a primate shows its teeth like that, it's not a friendly gesture by any stretch. What I really appreciated about this discussion is how they touch on the regional variations in Sasquatch descriptions. The Oklahoma creatures sound distinctly different from the ones reported on the West Coast, and comparing those differences is something researchers have been doing for decades. Chuck also mentions he's been digging into historical accounts from Native American tribes in Oklahoma — stories about women and children being taken by these beings that go back hundreds of years. He's working closely with tribal communities to document these oral histories, which is incredibly valuable work given how much Indigenous knowledge has been overlooked or dismissed by mainstream researchers. There's also a brief mention of a project the Creek Devil team is working on — they're looking into cases where missing persons might be connected to Sasquatch encounters. It's a sensitive topic, but if there are families out there with missing loved ones who suspect a Sasquatch connection, they're apparently open to hearing from people. I won't share the contact details here since that's their channel, but if you're curious, check out the video description. Honestly, this is the kind of content that reminds me why I love covering this subject. Real witnesses, real stories, and people who are genuinely trying to document and understand what's happening out there. Go watch the full video — Chuck's truck window encounter alone is worth the click.
