Cryptid sighting near Tripp County

Long ago before horses, a thirty-foot giant attacked a small village at night, destroying lodges and swallowing several women whole. Eight men tracked him, dug a massive trench, lured him to trip into it, and buried him with rocks and earth until he suffocated. They cut open his belly to recover the women, and his grave is said to be a lone oblong butte.

Cryptid sighting in Nebraska

Sasquatch sighting near Pine Ridge, South Dakota

Years later the witness was camping at a ceremonial gathering on a reservation when he repeatedly felt watched going to the restroom at night. An older man walked him away from the fire toward the cook shack to look into the dark, where they both saw two massive shadowy upright shapes standing at the edge of camp watching. The older man said such beings are drawn to ceremonies to observe and protect, and they remained at a distance without approaching or making sound.

Sasquatch sighting near Pioneer, Florida

The witness, then a 10-year-old boy, was catching reptiles in a dry creek bed behind his grandparents' rural property when a tall slender ape-like female appeared across the creek with an infant. He crouched and pretended to eat vegetation to avoid provoking her while they observed each other for several minutes. A taller darker male then emerged, bared his teeth and displayed aggressively, and the female positioned herself between the male and the boy. Both creatures then left into the brush, and the boy ran home and told his grandmother, who said she believed him.
