Sasquatch sighting near Santa Fe, Texas (2019)
Account
In 2019 a small Texas town experienced a cluster of 911 calls and social-media posts about a wild ape on the loose. Callers reported visuals including an animal with long arms digging through trash during a storm, strange ape-like howls, and a drone and dog search that found nothing. One account described youths dove hunting who shot at an ape in a tree and one was scratched, while authorities publicly warned about a possible loose chimpanzee before the activity went quiet.
