Incident #992945
Santee, Knox Cty, Nebraska
1979
Account
T.S. hunting in Brazile Creek Wildlife Area on the Missouri River an hour before sunset saw downhill from him at the edge of a ravine a 7-foot creature covered with grey hair. It was standing very erect, turning its head from side to side as if trying to smell something. It looked directly at him and he ducked down, when he looked up it was gone. A friend in a deer stand more than a mile away saw the same thing but won't talk about it.
