Sasquatch sighting near Ozark County (2017)

The witness was staying at his uncle's cattle farm to shoot a suspected coyote stealing chickens. From a barn loft at night he watched a tall bipedal creature emerge from the tree line and move very quickly toward the coops. After he shouted, it growled, screamed and charged the barn, shaking it, while he fired dozens of rounds down at it before it fled to the woods. No blood was found, only partial tracks, and a conservation officer told them to keep quiet.

Hunter in his stand makes eye contact one afternoon in Ellington

The witness was bow hunting from a tree stand overlooking a pond, hollow and log road when the woods went quiet. A large dark figure walked down the opposite side of the hollow, stopped, stepped back and stared at the witness for 15-20 seconds before continuing down the ridge and disappearing. After climbing down at dark, the witness checked the spot and concluded the height over the underbrush ruled out a human, then told his son who had been hunting separately.

Nurse Sees Sasquatch Run Across Hwy on All Fours

A long, skinny, dark-haired creature came from the left at full running speed and crossed all four lanes in front of her on all fours with an arched back and tucked head.

She first wondered if it was an April Fools costume, but after checking native animals and other reports she concluded it was something else.
