Sasquatch sighting in Nebraska (1976)
Account
On the second night of a multi-day horse trek from the dude ranch, the witness woke in camp at night and saw a hair-covered figure coming down a hill and stopping to stare. The figure swayed side to side with long arms, hunched shoulders, and smooth motion for two to three minutes before walking down into the holler and disappearing into thick brush. The witness was frozen, said nothing that night or in the morning, and later noted no eyeshine, smell, or sound and no disturbance to the horses.
