Today in 1977 the Sioux Falls Argus Leader ran a front page story about sightings of a big, dark brown, hairy creature near Little Eagle, in north central Corson County. Residents along the Grand River reported seeing the mysterious monster in and out of the river. Bureau of Indian Affairs employees later found footprints 18 inches long and eight inches wide. People reported an unpleasant odor and strange behavior from animals on nights the creature was sighted. A BIA official told the paper, "There's more to it than just a bunch of baloney."
