Big Foot
In southeastern Oklahoma, the thick forest is known for the most Big Foot sightings. The first sighting was in 1970 when a teenager wondered onto a back road in Talihina. It was there where he described seeing a "Green Hill Monster." Police investigated the area and found many dead animals in the vicinity. Many more sightings have been reported over the years but the creature has never been caught.

Cry Baby Bridge
Almost every bridge built in the 1900's in Oklahoma has a cry baby bridge story. This is the only one that has a specific date the incidence occurred. On Friday, June 13, 1924, a young mother was crossing the bridge with her baby when a storm came. Lightning struck her horse n' carriage and knocked her baby away and she could not find her, but could hear her crying. She looked for her over the side of the bridge but fell into the Verdigris River, never to be found again. Legend has it if you park your car on the bridge on Friday the 13th, and turn your motor off, you can still hear the baby crying. The bridge is not accessible anymore but can be seen by a nearby road.

The Hex House
In the 1940's, Tulsan's would have known the address of 10 E. 21st street as the home of Carol Ann Smith. Smith was found guilty of housing two "religious slaves" in cages in her basement for over a decade. The house became known as the Hex House since the slaves were under some sort of hex. The house has been torn down but rumor has it that the basement is still under the pavement.
