Bigfoot sightings not uncommon to some

“The Legend of Boggy Creek” movie inspired D.W. Lee to drive to Fouke, Ark., in search of Bigfoot.

Since the 1990s, he has become an avid researcher and expert on the legend and the creature.

And a believer.

“Once you see one, you want to see another one,” Lee said. “Hearing their vocalizations and movement around you is incredible.

“It gives you pause to think about what goes on in a woods at night.”

Lee and his Stilwell-based Mid-America Bigfoot Research organization are part of an international long-term Bigfoot investigation using cameras and video equipment. Their Web site, www.mid-americabigfoot.com, has a message board where researchers discuss their findings, Lee said.

Once, when researching north of Claremore, he saw a dozen of the creatures move on all fours through an open field, then stand up and walk when they got to the tree line.

“We have a white Bigfoot in this area,” Lee said.

“We’ve been tracking it in this area since 1994. It travels in between Adair and Cherokee counties.”

Bigfoot is definitely a primate, he said.

“There are three kinds: those with human type features and a nose more human in shape; those with a gorilla look; and some with a monster look that are terrifying to look at.”

They’re found throughout the U.S. and active in Oklahoma, according to Lee.

“They’ve been here for ages,” Lee said. “We shouldn’t be afraid. They’re just as curious about us.”

Some people feed them, and they have found plenty of dead chickens outside chicken houses, he said.

“They’re really good at catching deer,” he said. “They hunt in packs. Part of them will run deer in the general direction of the others, and they can grab them when they run by.”
