Fisherman sees a sasquatch while fishing at Clinton Lake, 19 miles SE of Topeka
Account
The witness and a companion were fishing from a dock at night and made whoop-like calls, receiving vocal responses. Rocks reportedly splashed in the water near them, and the witness approached reddish-orange eyeshine to within about 70 feet of a tall standing figure by a tree. The figure kept its distance while vocal exchanges continued, then left when the witness looked away at a fishing bell.
