Researchers believe they have found recent Bigfoot print in Oklahoma
Researchers were able to make a cast of the print, which measured 15¾ inches long and 5 inches wide. COURTESY

HONOBIA — Researchers believe that a footprint they discovered over the weekend in the Kiamichi Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma is that of the elusive creature Bigfoot.
D.W. Lee, global director of the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center, said the print was discovered about five miles into the woods. They were able to make a cast of the print, which measured 15¾ inches long and 5 inches wide.
“The toes were clearly visible on the cast after it was lifted up,” Lee said.
In addition to tracks, Lee said they heard “vocalizations” in the woods that they recognize as the tell-tale mocking calls of Bigfoot.
Whoop sounds, “attempted imitations” of whip-poor-wills, and mimicking of dove and owl calls were heard, he said.
One crew member was hit by a rock during a night hike just moments after two large animals were spied through a night scope walking on two feet across a logging road.
“A lot of people, it doesn’t really dawn on them when rocks land near them,” that Bigfoot could be responsible, Lee said.
Lee and his crew are evaluating hundreds of photographs and hours of video recordings taken over the weekend by about 30 researchers.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Scott Simmons said he has not been involved in any Bigfoot-seeking expeditions but that people are capable of collecting and analyzing data and have been doing so for years in fascination of the possibility of an unknown apelike species.
“I’m not going to tell someone they did not see or did see something,” he said.
