Witness Account:
We were walking down the road enjoying our summer vacation. When one of us noticed that there was something walking in the pasture North of where we were standing. It was close to 7 feet tall, had long white hair (at least a foot), was walking on two legs. It stopped when it noticed us standing there watching it. Actually we were almost too scared to run. Anyway it acted like it was going to come our way so we took off for a little ways then stopped to look again. Everyone knows that a fence with 6 strands of barbed wire is at least 5 feet tall right. Well, it stepped over that like it wasn't there and kept on going to the East taking long strides and swinging its arms back and forth while it walked. A few days later we were in the same general area and noticed some long white hair hooked on the top wire of the fence. We took it home to prove our story we told the day before. We called it a Honka. Have to say that we were more careful about how late we stayed out from that day on. Always made sure we were home before dark. Until the moment we saw it we had heard lots of stories but never believed them. Seeing is believing.
If you can talk to anyone in the Dustin area you will be told of several sightings of this nature and also will be told about what everyone called "The Light".
We found a long white hair on the top wire of one of the fences that crossed his property.
Additional observations:
Yes, lots of people talked about the Honka. I was probably 10 years old. I had taken a peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the pasture to have a picnic lunch by a small pool of water that was surrounded by tress. It was very quiet and I liked the peacefulness that I always seemed to get when I went up there. I had just set down to enjoy my sandwich and Kool-Aid when I heard something walking in the trees behind me. I listened for a moment and knowing there were no cows on our property the hair on my arms started to stand up. The foot steps were getting closer and there was a smell in the air that I could never describe again. I left my lunch and ran toward the house. As I was running away I could still hear the footsteps behind me. I returned a few days later with a friend to retrieve my jar. It was shattered and the bag my lunch was in was shredded. I never went that far into the pasture again by myself. The memory is still so vivid that it is almost as if it happened yesterday. My father told me stories after that of some strange encounters in his younger days while he was coon hunting. Our property was at the base of a mountain. There is a lot of trees on it. A creek that runs through it also. Now that I think back I can understand more about what I heard. It was definitely a two legged animal of some kind.
Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Daryl Colyer
This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred in Hughes County, Oklahoma, during the summer of 1976.
The witness and I had an interesting conversation about her childhood experiences with the "Honka."
The witness told me that the area in which she had her experiences is rich with stories from friends and distant neighbors who had similar encounters with these animals.
She recalled that the subject she saw was a "dirty white." She said she and her nephew must have watched it for several minutes, before it turned to walk toward them. At that time, the two children were overcome with fear and hurriedly left the scene.
Upon arriving home, the witness told her parents what she and her nephew had seen. Even though her father had told her before of the "Honka," the witness's parents still did not take the children seriously. Even after the children found the hair and showed it to the adults, the adults dismissed it as horse hair.
The witness told me that the visual encounter made "quite an impression" on her.
