Sasquatch sighting in Kansas (2023)

While driving to work in the dark, the witness saw a tall hairy biped step out and cross the road in two steps. It looked toward the truck showing red eyeshine well above a roadside sign, then stepped to the ditch edge, jumped the ditch, and ran through tall thorny plants with arms raised before disappearing toward a woodline. The witness later returned, found a deep large foot track at the landing spot, and estimated the eyes at about eight feet high.

Sasquatch sighting near Lenexa, Kansas (1970)

While throwing a football alone at night, the witness noticed a small head with pointed ears peeking from behind tall hedge bushes and threw the ball toward it after it repeatedly ducked. Later that same night while sleeping near a low bedroom window, a much larger hairy face appeared at the glass, made eye contact, shifted its eyes, wrinkled its brow and opened a wide mouth showing pointed teeth. The witness fled to a parent's room while heavy pacing was felt and heard around the house, then police were called but found nothing. The next morning the witness found large prints around windows and garden, recalled repeated early-morning howls, a growl with a branch breaking, grunting in the basement and a violently shaking backyard tree.
