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.

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.

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.

An investigator later spoke with him by phone and recorded the track dimensions, but the photos lacked sufficient detail to include.

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.

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.
