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

The witness and a companion were fishing from a dock at night and made whoop-like calls, receiving vocal responses. Rocks reportedly splashed in the water near them, and the witness approached reddish-orange eyeshine to within about 70 feet of a tall standing figure by a tree. The figure kept its distance while vocal exchanges continued, then left when the witness looked away at a fishing bell.

Growl near Beaver, Washington (2024)

The witness was sleeping lightly in a tent on family property during a reunion camping trip after several nights of growls, whoops, and sounds of movement in the woods. About 1:46am something pressed the back of the tent against her back, grabbed her left arm through the fabric, and shook the tall air mattress violently while a bright white light shone on the tent. The shaking and light stopped, and she found the tent had been pushed 5 to 7 feet forward. She stayed awake, left the next morning, and later found fingerprint-like marks on her arm that were photographed.

They lit the camp, kept fire watch in shifts, and at dawn packed and paddled out after a final rock fell in front of them.

Through binoculars the witness saw a black-furred being from waist up behind a tree staring back until it blinked, hid, reappeared, and later vanished by bending down. The husband saw an arm, they heard knocks, a whoop and running, and later found a large bare footprint in a creek bank and an impression behind a tree.
