17 April 2017 Neosho Falls, Woodson County, Kansas Class B #62352

Group of fisherman with a possible sighting of whitish/grey creature outside Neosho Falls

Three companions were night fishing from a bridge when the witness exchanged whoop calls with something across a field that steadily approached. After packing gear and waiting by a truck with lights on, they heard footsteps in a ditch and briefly saw only the whitish-grey top of a head. The entity then gave a loud whoop from about 20 yards away, prompting them to flee, and daylight examination the next day suggested it was over seven feet tall.

Witness hears possible whoops and chatter behind his home north of Edwardsville

The witness was inside the home at the computer early in the morning when a very loud, unfamiliar whoop was heard from the backyard. The house is described as well insulated from outside sound, yet the sound was very loud. It was too dark to see anything outside, and nothing was seen.

Possible wood knocks and tree push while biking near Lenexa

The witness was riding a bicycle south on a wooded riverside trail in the early afternoon.

May 2012 Kanopolis State Park, Saline County, Kansas Class B #35287

Possible encounter while fishing at Kanapolis Lake

Late at night while fishing at the Kanopolis Lake spillway, the reporter noticed movement on a hill and then a large figure peeking from behind a tree about 150-200 yards away. The reporter and an adult companion watched it peek in and out for about 45 minutes, seeing red eye-shine with and without a flashlight. Near the end, the companion heard a single knock and a 3-4 second high-pitched scream from the figure's area, which the reporter could not hear over the flowing water.

Fisherman describes being paralleled by a whistler after fishing the Blue River outside Manhattan

The sounds stopped and started with them, and the witness exchanged whistles back and forth with the unseen source for about ten minutes. They never saw what made the sounds.

April 2009 McPherson, Rice County, Kansas Class B #38362

Possible encounter by turkey hunters entering their blinds near McPherson

Two hunters crawled into a turkey blind around 5 a.m. and heard a loud high-pitched scream they did not recognize, followed by a huge crash like a tree falling. Frightened, they loaded their shotguns as fast as they could. They also found the roost trees empty of turkeys that had been present in large numbers a week earlier, which they considered highly unusual.

27 July 2008 St. Paul, Neosho County, Kansas Class B #27779

Possible track found and strange occurences on the Neosho River

On a summer night in 2008 the witness was night-fishing by a dam near family cabins when he heard rhythmic splashes crossing the shallow river about 100 feet away and felt intense fear, abandoning his gear to hide in a nearby cabin. Around the same night a relative sitting on a cabin deck smelled a strong death-like odor, heard movement on the stairs and under the cabin, and felt the cabin rock hard enough to knock a VCR and tape rack over. The two compared accounts the next morning on the drive home and concluded the cause was a bigfoot, keeping it to themselves.

16 June 1995 Cherokee, Cherokee County, Kansas Class B #62405

Daylight encounter in a strip mine gully near "Big Brutus" (tourist attraction)

The witness was walking ahead of her husband toward a fishing spot at a strip pit when a very loud screaming began just behind her. She crouched and covered her ears as the screams repeated, then heard the source run, jump a creek, and crash through brush and small trees on the far side. Her husband, who had been following behind, heard the screams and joined her to watch the vegetation move as the creature left. They left the area without returning for prints after rain washed the site.

A woman and her daughter report being followed by a large animal as they walked along a dark country lane near their home

The witness and a young family companion walked home in darkness after an evening visit and heard footsteps in leaves and twigs that stopped when they stopped. They continued home, sat in a yard swing, then heard a loud guttural growl that seemed to shift to directly behind them. They slowly entered the house and locked the doors.
