Two witnesses in a Razor see a bigfoot at dusk 12 miles north of Topeka
The witness and a companion were driving home on a small off-road vehicle at dusk when they noticed a tall dark figure on a hill to the south. After stopping near a fence line they watched it walk over the hill, turn to look back, then continue toward a tree grove despite shouts. They then drove to nearby cross roads to try to relocate it but saw nothing further.
Hunter's dusk sighting of a sasquatch on the Kickapoo (KS) Indian Reservation
While bow hunting at dusk near a field and tree line, the witness stood to leave and saw a tall figure approaching that was first mistaken for a companion. As it closed to about 100 yards and stopped by a hay bale, the witness realized it was much taller and powerfully built with a high neckless head and long muscular arms, moving silently. The witness moved toward the tree line to avoid being silhouetted, then retreated to a truck and slapped the tailgate, after which the figure dropped to all fours and disappeared within seconds.
Woman driving at night hits a man-like animal near Mayetta
Late at night the witness was driving home on a dirt road while on the phone. A tall hairy biped ran from right to left across the road and was struck by the left front bumper, cracking it, but continued without slowing. The witness turned back and found nothing at the scene except a strong foul odor. She described the creature as much larger than an adult man, with short brownish-red hair, a large head and very long massive arms, without seeing its face.
