Class B First-hand BFRO #35287

Possible encounter while fishing at Kanapolis Lake

May 2012 around midnight Kanopolis State Park, Saline County, Kansas 2 witnesses

Account

Late at night while fishing at the Kanopolis Lake spillway, the reporter noticed movement on a hill and then a large figure peeking from behind a tree about 150-200 yards away. The reporter and an adult companion watched it peek in and out for about 45 minutes, seeing red eye-shine with and without a flashlight. Near the end, the companion heard a single knock and a 3-4 second high-pitched scream from the figure's area, which the reporter could not hear over the flowing water.
