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.
Truck driver has early morning sighting on Highway 44 near Missouri River
The witness was driving a straight truck east on a highway near the Missouri River before dawn and saw a dark figure crouched on the right shoulder in the headlights. As the truck closed to about 15 feet, the figure stood on two legs and moved away from the road, appearing as tall as the top of the passenger window. The witness later returned in daylight but found no tracks due to frozen ground, though roadkill remains were present near the spot.
Early evening sighting by motorist on Hwy 244 near Horsethief Lake
The witness was driving westbound home on Highway 244 when he saw a large, reddish-brown hairy figure standing a few feet off the side of the road. He viewed it in left-side profile for only two to three seconds as he passed, noting its tall lean build, long arms, slouched posture, and thigh hair. When he checked the rear mirror it was gone, and a return visit the next day found only a well-used trail.

While driving his pickup, cowboy has night time sighting near Custer
After eating in town, the witness drove a dirt road back toward camp in Custer State Park at night. Near the top of a hill, a tall hair-covered figure came down the left embankment, crossed the road directly in front of the truck in a single long step, and continued down the steep slope on the right, dislodging dust and rocks. The witness did not stop, returned to camp, loaded the horse which was uneasy, and left for home.
Camp counselor describes unusual incidents near Custer
The witness and a companion had returned to shore after late-night canoeing and were talking by the lake. The witness noticed a tall, fuzzy, person-like figure standing uphill by a pine tree and watched it about 30 seconds before alerting the companion. The companion turned after their friend passed under a light, and the figure stepped behind the tree and vanished without being seen by the companion.
Large bipedal animal frequently observed by a South Dakota family
A family reports seeing an unidentified tall biped around their rural home over four years, usually at night. The creature is described as 7 to 9 feet tall, walking upright with a slight hunch and running too fast to follow. Footprints, hair, possible saliva, blood stains, and snapped small trees were also found on the property. Up to nine family members in three houses have seen it when arriving, leaving, or moving between houses.
Creature observed coming up over a ridge.
In June 1996 the witness was alone minding a soup pot at a vision-quest camp on Bear Butte when she looked toward a ridge about 100 yards away and saw a figure come over the top. Startled, she looked down and then back, feeling a rush, goosebumps, and a tug on her T-shirt as the figure apparently left very quickly and unseen. She announced she was going to her tent and later heard from elders that such sightings around the camp were considered common and good luck.

The witness and his father were awakened around 2 a.m. by knocking at their motel door.

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.
Dogman sighting in South Dakota
While camped on BLM land near Badlands National Park, the couple heard distressed cows for hours and noticed one dog refuse to leave the truck. During a moonlit walk they lay down to look at stars, their dog barked, and they saw a very large black canine-like figure about sixty yards away with no eye shine that seemed to absorb flashlight beams while panting loudly. A second closer larger figure seen by the boyfriend flanked them, both followed the couple about a quarter mile back toward camp before disappearing, after which cows vocalized again.
