Sasquatch sighting in Missouri (1977)
Account
The witness was sleeping in a tent with a cousin at a scout camp when waking late at night to sounds at the central table. From the tent flap the witness watched a tall broad ape-like creature pry open the troop food box and eat bread and donuts. After another boy shouted bear, the creature stood upright, tore down the tarp, vocalized, then walked quickly between the tents into the woods.
