LAST WEEK (06/23/25): Close range sighting of a sasquatch by a motorist near Sturgis
The witness was driving alone at night on a highway through the Black Hills when a large dark biped stepped over a guardrail onto the road very close to the car. She saw its shoulders, chest and legs beside the passenger side before it disappeared into darkness behind the vehicle. Frightened, she did not stop and immediately called her fiancé about what she had seen.
Camper describes stalking by Bigfoots near "Devil's Bathtub" in the Black Hills
The witness was camping alone in a tent in Spearfish Canyon. Late at night he heard a whistle-like sound, a tree-knock sound, and slow heavy bipedal footsteps approaching and passing his tent, accompanied by a strong unpleasant smell. He shouted at the presence and later woke to tree knocks and varied whooping sounds from multiple directions lasting about 15 minutes, and found no sign in the morning.
Possible nighttime visit while camping in the Black Hills of South Dakota
The witness was sleeping alone in a tent at a secluded creek-side camp in June 2008. Around 3:11 a.m. the witness awoke to total silence, then heard splashing and movement in the stream to the north and west, followed by a patterned sequence of loud rock-on-rock smacks. The witness loaded a weapon and waited, heard nothing further, and left at sunrise without checking for tracks. Months later, after seeing a program about primates using rocks to communicate, the witness wondered if the visit had been by an unrecognized primate.
