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.

Fisherman hears heavy breathing ,turns and sees tall man-like creature

The witness was standing fishing in knee-deep river water while a companion fished downstream. Hearing heavy breathing behind, the witness turned and saw a tall, athletic, hair-covered male-like creature standing by a tree on the bank about 100-150 feet away. The two stared at each other for several minutes, and as the witness moved sideways downstream the creature moved between trees keeping watch, until the witness reached the companion; when they returned the creature was gone and no prints were found in dry sandy soil.

newspaper article about a sighting by a jogger. Later, a sherif deputy found a track at the scene of the incident.

Late on Thanksgiving night in 1977, the witness was returning home from jogging when he heard a noise in nearby bushes and ran uphill toward his house. He then turned and watched a large figure running along the road before it went over a barbed-wire fence with little effort and disappeared into a field. A deputy later reported finding an unusually large, deep foot-shaped track in gravel.
