27 August 2005 White Shield, McLean County, North Dakota Class A #12562

Multiple witness sighting near White Shield

After two relatives reported a roadside figure, the witness joined them and an uncle in a van to spotlight nearby wheat fields the same night. They watched an apelike figure first on all fours that then sat for several minutes before standing on two legs, with two additional sets of eyeshine behind it. The group left to contact authorities, later noted a strong urine-like odor, received a distant bellowing reply to an imitated howl, and searched with a game warden until morning.

Rash of sighting reports from multiple witnesses

On a mid-afternoon in late February 2004, a group of small children near a trailer park on the southeast edge of New Town reportedly saw a large hairy bipedal animal and fled screaming toward their trailer. The mother of two of the children rushed outside and saw the animal moving quickly away through trees. The investigator did not speak directly with this family, relying on accounts passed via tribal officials and a news reporter.

Tribal government employee photographs line of tracks in snow

A witness visited a highway south of Mandaree a day after hearing of a reported sighting and found a long line of large footprints in snow running parallel to the road. The trackway was estimated at over 200 prints with a long stride. Photos taken two days after the tracks were made showed only large round impressions because warm weather had melted detail.

Hunter describes described being stalked near Minot

The witness and a companion were walking back toward their residence after hunting rabbits on the prairie outside Minot. The witness sensed they were being followed, looked back, and saw a tall, long-haired creature about 50 yards away that rose onto its hind feet and looked at them. As it started moving toward them the witness felt threatened, and both individuals ran away without looking back.

Sasquatch sighting in North Dakota

As a six or seven year old at a North Dakota gathering, the guest heard an announcer tell in the traditional language how a boy playing with cousins along a creek was chased and taken by a Bigfoot. A multi-day search party was lured and misled by mimicked voices and bonfire activity, and the child was never found.
