Back in the 1950s when I was in grade school, there was a lot of talk about 2 things in particular: one was Bridey Murphy-the case of possible reincarnation and also The Abominable Snowman. While Bridey Murphy has faded into the background, the abominable snowman has morphed into something similar called 'bigfoot.' Native Americans use the term 'sasquatch' for this hairy creature that can be as tall as ten feet and weigh up to 500 pounds! The dark long hair covering its body is a reddish tone and there is a horrid distinctive smell associated with its presence. Tibetans call this creature Yeti and it was originally seen in the forests of the American Northwest. In the Himalayas, mountain climbers rarely report seeing the Yeti, but they have reported hearing his yell and/or seeing his huge footprints. Travel guides refuse to go into areas where Yetis are believed to live.
Bigfoot sightings in places besides the Pacific Northwest were considered few and far between, however now there seem to be reports of bigfoot appearing in all sorts of places. This is what makes his possible sightings in Nebraska seem more credible. In 1974 two motorists traveling in opposite directions saw a huge bi-pedal creature coming out of a ditch. They estimated its height at 8 feet and its weight at 700 lbs. Both observers compared notes on what they had seen and agreed on the basic descriptions. Then a year later in 1975, a similar creature was seen in Sarpy county near Bellevue when a teenager was walking through a field on his way to visit his girlfriend. The last known observations reported in Nebraska were: near Mead in Saunders county; Near Salt Creek near Lincoln where a horrid smell was reported; and from a family of campers at Chadron State Park near Omaha. They understandably cur their camping trip short.
There are many more reports in Nebraska of large bipedals with hairy exteriors and horrid smells, but they lack verification from other observers besides those revealing the encounters. In cryptozoology where unusual species are discovered and studied, scientists describe bigfoot as 'folklore.' Perhaps he is just that. But folklore doesn't leave a horrid smell with large tracks having 6 toes!

hey everyone this is a very informative new article about sasquatch activity in nebraska forests. please keep me updated ok. good afternoon. bill green bristol,ct sasquatch-bigfoot researcher.
Chadron State Park is on the other side of the state from Omaha.
I'm glad someone else knows where chadron stse park is! I lived on a small farm[480 acres], 60mile southof there. If you want to know about Bigfoot in Nebraska, go to the Sand Hills and talk to the ranchers. You might learn more than you want to know!?
In 1980 I went on a fishing trip with my buddy Mike who was 11 at the time and I was 10. His mom and her friend had taken us to Two Rivers State Park. As we traveled down a now closed access road Mike and I saw a figure behind a tree, as we passed the creature walked across the road behind the car without Mike's mom or her friend even noticing. It was a smaller creature about 4 to 5 feet tall and looked right at us.
Around 2005 I had brought it up in conversation to Mike about seeing the creature and he turned pale saying he thought it was a dream he had.
OMG!!!! I live in the sandhills of thomas county and let me tell you....BIGFOOT is real dont let anyone tell ya different....one night when i was out pregin the cattle i heard a horrible screech noise followed by a simple moo...this means the cow is in distress....The next day we found the cow dead with chunks ripped off of it....and beside it were huge human like foot prints but i know what it was it was...........Bigfoot..... stay safe my friends...
