Nowata County
Nowata Monster

The creatures that live between the Sandstone Hills and the Ozark Plateau in northeastern Oklahoma have terrorized residents for
decades. The
hairy, upright walking beasts were first spotted in 1974 in the community of Watova, just outside the town of Nowata. Since then, whole
families
of the Bigfoot creatures have been sighted. They range in size from six feet tall and give off a horrible odor. In 1975, the creature clan was
sighted near Noxie. One angered Bigfoot attacked a hunter, and another damaged a pickup truck. The foul smelling animals have been
seen by
dozens of witnesses, including hunters, sheriff deputies, and National Guard troops.

Nowata County is in the northeast corner of Oklahoma. The desolate region is in the Coo-Wee-Scoo-Wee district of the old Cherokee
Nation.
The town of Nowata is forty five miles northeast of Tulsa on U.S. highway 169. Watova is six miles south of Nowata on US highway 169.
Many
sightings have taken place near Oologah Lake at Double Creek Cove, two miles south of Nowata.
