Truck driver has early morning sighting on Highway 44 near Missouri River

The witness was driving a straight truck east on a highway near the Missouri River before dawn and saw a dark figure crouched on the right shoulder in the headlights. As the truck closed to about 15 feet, the figure stood on two legs and moved away from the road, appearing as tall as the top of the passenger window. The witness later returned in daylight but found no tracks due to frozen ground, though roadkill remains were present near the spot.

Early evening sighting by motorist on Hwy 244 near Horsethief Lake

The witness was driving westbound home on Highway 244 when he saw a large, reddish-brown hairy figure standing a few feet off the side of the road. He viewed it in left-side profile for only two to three seconds as he passed, noting its tall lean build, long arms, slouched posture, and thigh hair. When he checked the rear mirror it was gone, and a return visit the next day found only a well-used trail.

While driving his pickup, cowboy has night time sighting near Custer

After eating in town, the witness drove a dirt road back toward camp in Custer State Park at night. Near the top of a hill, a tall hair-covered figure came down the left embankment, crossed the road directly in front of the truck in a single long step, and continued down the steep slope on the right, dislodging dust and rocks. The witness did not stop, returned to camp, loaded the horse which was uneasy, and left for home.

Paranormal encounter in South Dakota (1989)

The witness and his father were awakened around 2 a.m. by knocking at their motel door.

They followed tiny boot prints across a field into the woods for a quarter to half a mile until the tracks abruptly stopped.
