Partial sighting near Neosho, Missouri (2025)

Later the same night the two men returned to the same pull-off with another couple to show them the spot. While shining a light west of the car, one witness watched a golden-brown shape repeatedly duck behind a bush. No sound was heard, nothing was seen when headlights swept the area, and daylight inspection suggested the shape would have been much taller than first thought.

Two night fishermen have scary encounter with two individuals west of Edgar Springs

The witness and a relative were night fishing across a creek from a short bluff when they heard crashing coming down the hill. They shone a spotlight and saw a large hairy figure crouched at the shoreline, then heard a second crashing nearby. The first figure entered the creek and stood in deep water up to its rib cage while they watched, after which both people fled without looking back.

Two decades separate sightings of father and son at farm

The son ran back to the house saying a large human-like woods figure had watched him from near the woods edge. The parent went outside and noticed a musky odor, which the son described as skunk-like. The son depicted the figure in a crayon drawing and reacted strongly when shown an image from a reported bigfoot film. No one else saw the figure.

Multiple witnesses encounter bad smell, three observe creature hiding behind sapling

After exploring an abandoned resort site on a bright moonlit night, three companions walking back toward their van smelled a strong musky, fecal odor. They then noticed a backlit figure about 20 feet away behind brush watching them while holding a small tree and swaying. After watching for a few minutes they fled to the van, and a return visit minutes later found no figure and no odor.

Family members describe screaming and house smacking near Prairie Home

Five women staying overnight at a rural farmhouse heard loud piercing screams approaching from up a hill toward the house. A backlit tall, large-framed figure walking hunched over passed in front of the front picture windows and beat on the house, and a very hairy leg was seen when the front door was opened. The figure then went around the corner of the house and disappeared, leaving a burning skunk-like smell. Two men who had been away returned later and searched the large farm into the early morning without finding anything.

17 November 1971 Salem, Dent County, Missouri Class A #36761

Memory told of a close encounter while deer hunting east of Salem

While hunting from a tree stand shortly after sunrise, the witness saw a frightened deer run by followed by two upright hairy figures. One figure came within about 15-20 feet, stared face-to-face at eye level for 10-15 seconds and emitted a deep growl before leaving. The witness fled toward a nearby farmhouse, fired a rifle shot overhead and shouted, while movement and noise paralleled him in the woods.

Partial sighting in Missouri

Sasquatch sighting in Missouri

It appeared to move closer each time she looked away while heavy walking sounds approached. She told her son to walk then run to the car, abandoning gear except the gun.
