A Bigfoot sighting was reported Saturday night on Interstate 80 near North Platte.
Harriett Mcfeely of Hastings said she and her friend Robin Roberts of Colorado were driving back from Omaha on Saturday. Mcfeely said Roberts dropped her off in Hastings and went on her way. A little while later Mcfeely said Roberts called her and was excited. Roberts told Mcfeely she just saw a Bigfoot.
“She said ‘I just saw a Bigfoot — he was standing right here on the shoulder of the road,’” Mcfeely said.
Roberts was at mile marker 197, not far from North Platte, around 9 p.m. when she saw the Bigfoot.
“She said he was really big. He was really heavy and stocky,” Mcfeely said.
The Bigfoot was said to be standing inside the fence meant to keep deer away from the road, only about 20 feet from Roberts’ car. Mcfeely said Roberts told her the Bigfoot was at least 8 feet tall.
“Right at that time, there wasn’t a lot of cars going either way right there. That’s why she saw him so clearly,” Mcfeely said.
Mcfeely called the Nebraska State Patrol to report the sighting.
“I said ‘Is this considered an official sighting of a Bigfoot? They said definitely,’” Mcfeely said.
She said Roberts saw that the north channel of the Platte River was near where she saw the Bigfoot. Mcfeely said she’s always known Bigfoot to travel along the rivers. She said she’s never seen a Bigfoot in Nebraska, but she has friends that have seen them near Grand Island, Bellevue, Lincoln and Macy.
The Nebraska State Patrol responded, but posted on their Facebook page on Sunday that there was no Bigfoot to be found.

Does not surprise me.. I was born and raised on the Omaha Reservation in a small towns called Rosalie and Pender Nebraska.. growing up my Dad, who is NDN, made a living as a trapper/hunter on the creeks and rivers that empty into the Missouri across from Sioux City Iowa… he tells a story of out checking his trap lines one very foggy morning.. he heard a loud grunt and heavy, deep, raspy breathing and turned to see a very large black, hairy something turned away and disappearing into the fog and tree’s .. for years he said his logical mind had kept trying to convince him he saw a very large bull…but he says it would have to have been the biggest bull he had ever seen..he says it was at least 8 ft tall and 4 ft wide..and no bull is that large..he said it so shocked and surprised him, he backed up into the river to waist deep water, dropped his mink and traps into the water, and took out his weapon… my Dad is not a fearful man being a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam.. but this he says made his hair stand on end and took his breath away and left him shaken..
