They've been described as witch-like creatures, not fully human or owl when fully transformed. They prey on sleeping humans, preferably children feasting upon the still-beating hearts of their victims. They hunt at night and must transform back into their human form before daylight or perish. Similar to vampire lore.
Beware of the dark woods of Oklahoma, you may come face to face with a Stikini
To change from human to Stikini they must vomit up and remove their internal organs and hide them somewhere in the woods, usually on or near a tree. After they feed they have to return to the woods, retrieve their organs, and reinsert them in order to transform back into human form. It's disturbing and disgusting.
