Fisherman sees a sasquatch while fishing at Clinton Lake, 19 miles SE of Topeka

Sighting by three groundskeepers at Arrowhead Golfcourse around 8:30pm

Three coworkers riding in a golf cart while collecting flags passed within a few feet of a tall pale human-like figure beside the path near hole 13.

They left, returned minutes later in an enclosed cart, and heard repeated creaking sounds nearby before leaving the area.

10 October 2002 Dora, Douglas County, Missouri Class B #5123

Loud calls, rock/boulder throwing disturbs campers

The witness and a companion were sitting at their campsite campfire at night when they heard loud canine-like howl and whoop calls from multiple directions, approaching to within about 35 yards. The calls were described as deeper and louder than coyote or wolf, followed by fast gutteral sounds likened to a language or argument between two animals. The pair ruled out known animals and a human prank after hearing a second matching voice upstream. The vocal exchange lasted about five to seven minutes before the animals appeared to move away upstream over a bluff.

Driver stops, approaches bigfoot on foot around midnight on Hwy 138, 4 miles W of Glide

The witness was driving home around midnight when he saw a tall figure standing by a roadside fence watching him pass. Believing it was a man needing help, he stopped, got out with a flashlight, and started walking back toward it. A loud vocalization shifting from high-pitched to low guttural frightened him, causing him to drop the flashlight and drive away. He returned the next day to recover the flashlight and found only flattened grass with no footprints or hair.

Man recalls encounters while camping with his hunting party south of Cabool

For about 45 minutes they heard heavy footsteps from multiple directions and watched several figures circling and staring from just beyond the light until the adults returned and the group left for town.
