Sasquatch sighting in Kansas (1977)

The witness was deer hunting with his brother when he saw a very large figure standing by a tree about 300 yards away through his scope. He first thought it was a person in a ghillie suit but decided it was too large to be a man. His brother later found very long footprints in dust where it stood, and they heard strange vocal sounds that day.

College students get approached by sasquatch and shoot at it

A responding deputy examined the area the next day and reported indistinct impressions, small pushed-over trees and long uphill strides, but no blood or fur.

1976 New Era, Oceana County, Michigan Class B #55573

Long term possible Sasquatch interactions on a farm near New Era beginning in the mid 1970's

The witness recalls numerous puzzling occurrences from 30-40 years ago on a family farm of about 100 acres with orchards and woods. These included trees reportedly moved to block trails, an elaborate woven arch structure, large human-like footprints with long strides, rocks and a branch thrown near the witness, loud clicking exchanges, and nighttime disturbances around the barn and house. No creature was reportedly seen clearly, and the interpretation as possible Sasquatch activity developed over later years.
