I was reading an article this morning saying there have been Big Foot sightings in all states but Hawaii and Rhode Island.
I know there have been sightings in Colorado including some really big news coverage in the 80s around Colorado Springs.
But, I was curious about Kansas.
Below is the first hit I received for a Kansas Big Foot sighting.

Here are two additional sightings copied from another web site
28 Sept. 1978 Kansas Turnpike, near Bonner Springs, KS. Motorist saw 8-10-ft, auburn-haired Bigfoot in headlights at 2:30 am. Braked to avoid it, and it was lost in shadows.
16 Dec. 1978 Kansas 126, Cherokee County, KS Man saw 6-ft, bad-smelling Bigfoot tried to run witness' car off road.
I have never seen bigfoot, but do remember all the flap back in the 1970s throughout southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. I did a lot of reading then, and found that there have been sightings just right along. One of the Foxfire books has several stories about Ha'nts that I believe describe Bigfoot. There is lots of territory in this country that is rough and virtually unexplored; certainly not gone over every day.

I emailed the Kansas Bigfoot Center to find out if there had been any additional Elk County sightings.
The email came back as undeliverable
I wonder if there is any Big Foot seminars Mama and Roma Jean and I could go to.. LOL LOL LOL
If there is an evidence of Big Foot in Elk County..rest assured .. it is probably just Derek and the gargantuan footprints he has left behind..
He wears a size 15 and has since he was 14 yrs old!
( It was a real treat/nightmare trying to find shoes that size for that boy back then)
For the record... I DO ..200% believe that there are living and functioning Sasqautch on our earth.
There are just so many repo...
Dang.. got to go.. can't talk about this right now either.. Boss is asking me a question.

jUST CALLED THAT NUMBER (PHONE) No Matt Dennis!
I used to see Bigfoot about every Saturday when I went to the Avalon Club in Fredonia, "BIG JOHN SPILLMAN'" was Bigfoot the Bouncer . Of course some Saturday nights back then I saw Flying Sauces, Pink Elephants, and Spacemen. I think it was something in the Water and in the 7Up.

:laugh: That sounds like the early 70's to me.
Must have been late 50's and early 60's. Now what do you suppose was in the water or 7up? The Avalon was a fun place. More memories!
iT SURE WAS A FUN PLACE! LOTS OF GOOD MUSIC AND DANCING!
Does anyone remember the name of the Black band out of Chicago?

The Denver Post this morning ran an article about Harry R. Truman.
He was the old 83 year old man that refused to leave his lodge and lake on Mount Saint Helens in 1980.
Both are now buried under 80 feet of volcanic ash.
Before he disappeared, he told an individual that his place was frequented by Big Foot to such an extent his wife refused going outside at night. (I thought he was living by himself in 1980 but this could have been sometime before)
Said his barn had scratches at the ten-foot level where he had tried to get in and he could tell when Big Foot was around by the smell in the air.
I never heard of a Delaware big foot, except perhaps after someone quaffed a few too many drinks at the beach's Rusty Rudder or the Bottle and Cork. Then there may be Hobbits and Mermaids too.
We have the "Jersey Devil" that roams the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Delaware and south eastern Pennsylvania.
Tell us more about the Jersey Devil????
The Jersey Devil goes back to the 1700s. The devil was supposed to be the 13th child of a New Jersey lady who was sick of having children and cursed the 13th saying, "may it be the devil himself." It was born terribly deformed. Now it becomes fantasy. The child killed most of the rest of the family (ate their heads) and ran up the chimney and disappeared out into the Pine Barrens to wreak havoc on the locals. It is a furry dragonish looking beast with long leathery wings, a long neck and a horse looking head ( some say it looks more like a ram and has horns.) It has short front arms, longer back legs and cow's hooves. It's anywhere between 3 and 8 feet tall, flies well and screams. There have been many sightings over the years with lots of explanations as to what it is. Mostly I think it's a good story to keep kids from getting lost in the Pine Barrens or the "Devil'll get 'em."
Jodi, was it the Inkspots. I remember them playing at Howard a couple of times. They were good to dance to. The best ones I remember at Howard, were Johnnie Lee Wills, Hank Thompson, Leon McCauliffe, Rodney Lay, a local favorite was Bill Parker. I danced many a mile in the old Howard Fairgrounds Pavillion.

The New Jersey National Hockey Team, which may be in Newark, is named the Jersey Devils.
Prior to being the Devils they were the Colorado Rockies and prior to that were the Kansas City Scouts.
Dose Joisey Devils are indeed from Newerk New Joisey. Dey moved from da Meadowlands. ;D ;D ;D
If there is a street intersection of third avenue and third street, does someone back there say they are at thoid and thoid?
I think we just drove the spelling police crazy.
Some sure would. ;D ;D ;D
I used to have the sweetest man work for me. Tom Wheeler was from Joisey; I loved to hear him describe somthing. It was delightful!
For UFO buffs:

Whereas each state seems to have a Big Foot reporting center there is a National UFO Reporting Center located in a decommissioned ICBM missile base in Lincoln County, Washington.
The latest sighting of a UFO was on January 8, 2008, at Stephenville, Texas, with two reports submitted. One report estimates speed at 2-3 thousand mph. The other estimates 3,000 mph but the reporting individual was not a witness.
Prior to that seven reports were submitted for a sighting on December 10, 2007, in the southeastern US. The UFO was first believed to be a comet but the light shifted directions.
