Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Minnesota Bigfoot reports.
That's correct, Minnesota Bigfoot reports.
Now we're told this happened back in 1988 during the winter
in Minnesota. Anoka County location details It
says head north on Lexington Ave. from Hwy. 96 cross 85th
Ave. and continue past Flower Field Rd.
You will barely see Hidden Lake on your right.
Take a right on Woodland Rd. just past the church, then a
right on 92nd circle. Follow the long driveway
straight ahead or walk in on your left.
You will find several trails that converge.
Looking S toward Hidden Lake you will see the shelters.
This is the general area where the Bigfoot was sighted.
They tell us the nearest town is Circle Pines.
Nearest Rd. Woodland Rd. observed.
This is a second hand report. Around 1988 our 10 year old
daughter and her friend, a neighbor were walking on a trail
near our home. They came across a large beige
gorilla like creature. Terrified, they ran home
immediately. Our daughter was adamant it was
not a person in a costume or any animal she recognized.
She described it as a tall, two legged creature completely
covered in beige hair. They reported the incident to me
shortly after it happened. It was winter and there was snow
on the ground. Both girls were wearing boots.
I asked him to show me where they had seen the creature so I
could check the footprints, but they refused to go back, saying
they were too frightened. On their way to tell me, they
informed a neighbor who dismissed their story.
For years, I didn't think much about the sighting.
However, after reading about Bigfoot online, I've come to
believe that one might have lived in the woods here.
Although it's not a large area, the marshy conditions around the
lake make it difficult to navigate, additional observation
says, even now, 15 years later. Of course, this was reported in
2003, so we're 20 years beyond that.
I've noticed shelters near the area and a strong odor of
excrement. Loud screams have also been
heard nearby. Footprints of an unusually large
size with the wide stride have been seen in the snow.
And who's walking around barefoot in the snow?
2 girls were involved. They were exploring and looking
for a tree with boards to climb when they came across a
creature. Other stories?
None. I suspect others might be
hesitant to share similar sightings for fear of being
dismissed. However, the shelters in the
area are real and hard to explain otherwise, says time and
condition. This occurred during the day
under clear conditions with ample light.
While it might have been early spring, there wasn't snow
underground. Well, it's Minnesota, so that
could be about any time, huh? The inciting took place in a
clearing between the woods and Hidden Lake.
The area is wooded with marshy terrain near the lake making it
difficult to traverse. The location of this sighting.
This this is the follow up report.
It says the location of the sighting is just north of
Minneapolis, Saint Paul and a sparsely populated suburban
area. A chain of marshy lakes with
surrounding lowlands and wooded areas extends into this region
from the north. I visited the location with G1
of the witnesses, now 25. Remember this is 20 years ago
and her mother who submitted the report.
I also interviewed the second witness, Kay, by phone.
Both women provided consistent descriptions of a tall, upright,
blonde colored gorilla approximately 50 to 100 yards
away. The creature was spotted within
a wild area roughly 1/4 mile from the girls homes.
It stood on a rise and was fully visible.
Initially bent over, it straightened and appeared to
notice the girls before they fled.
The girls described the encounter as brief but
memorable. Both seemed honest and sincere,
genuinely believing in what they had seen.
Kay noted that the animal appeared dirty, especially its
legs. At the time, they called it a
gorilla because they were unfamiliar with Bigfoot.
The shelters mentioned by G's mother appeared to have been
made by local children. This sighting is notable for its
proximity to the Twin Cities. The chain of lakes and
marshlands likely provided a natural corridor more remote
areas. Interestingly, the creature's
collar was described as blonde. Similar sightings in Minnesota
have reported the animals in tan, cardboard or even white
shades, suggesting a possible variations and regional Bigfoot
appearances. That's pretty neat.
Yeah, they. I mean, what a memory.
All these years later, they're still talking about it.
This one says. Daylight sighting by a couple on
a frozen lake near Centerville, year 2000.
It was winter in February. Date actually 2/21/2000 February
21st 2000 State Minnesota. Anoka County again.
Location details a small lake north of the Twin Cities metro
area. The lake features a wooded
island and an extensive area of marshland.
Nearby. A nature park is located along
the western shore of the lake. Nearest town Centerville Nearest
Rd. Anoka County Road 14 In February
of 2000, my wife Jean and I went for a walk with our two Labrador
Retrievers. As we looked across a small lake
with an island, we saw a tall human like figure walking
briskly across a frozen lake. Its body was dark, almost black,
while its head was a lighter brown with hair extending to its
shoulders. When we first spotted it, the
figure was approximately 350 yards away.
It moved toward a patch of cactails, coming within 150 to
175 yards of us. At that point, only his
shoulders and head were visible above the cattails.
At 1 moment, 2 geese flew overhead, honking.
The figure turned its entire upper body to look at them
before continuing into a wooded area where we lost sight of it.
I wanted to get a closer look, but my wife was frightened and
returned to the truck. Strangely, our dogs, who are
usually by my side, refused to follow me and acted nervous.
I ventured into the area alone but could not see over the
cocktails, which were taller than me at six feet.
The snow and ice were hard packed, so I found no
footprints. To this day, when Jean talks
about the encounter, it raises a hair on her neck.
She initially didn't want me to report it, fearing for the
safety of the creature we'd seen.
This is an experience I'll never forget.
Additional observation says the figure's entire upper body
turned when it looked at the geese.
It had a long stride and moved quickly.
My dog's behaviour was highly unusual.
They acted nervous and refused to follow me, which had never
happened before. Other witnesses 2 witnesses.
My wife and myself. Other stories.
About a week later I heard of another sighting near the Saint
Qua River. Time and conditions between 8:30
and 9:30 AM on a bright sunny morning.
The weather was warm and the snow was hard packed.
The figure was travelling SE to northwest and we were looking NE
environment. The area consists of lowlands,
marshes and broken Woodlands. Then the follow up investigation
says by Andy Pi spoke with the witness by phone and gathered
additional details. The figure was first seen
approximately 350 yards away as it rounded a point on the island
and walked north northeast along the lake, paralleling the
island's shoreline. It moved through cocktails that
were about 6 feet tall, reaching up to its upper chest just below
the shoulders. The figure eventually crossed to
the island and disappeared into the trees.
The entire siding lasted less than 3 minutes, with the closest
approach being about 150 yards. The figure covered roughly 300
yards in that time. The witness described the figure
as standing between 7 and 8 feet tall, with a massive and
muscular upper body. Its movements were rapid and its
stride was long. It was uniformly black and
collar except for the hair on its head, which was brown and
about 6 inches long. The head appeared to sit
directly on the shoulders without a visible neck.
The figure turned at the waist to look at the geese flying
overhead. Its arm swung as it walked, but
only the upper arms were visible due to the cocktails.
The witness was particularly struck by the behavior of his
dogs, which are trained hunting dogs and typically accompany him
in the woods. On this occasion, they retreated
to the truck and refused to follow him.
The local train includes bogs and broken Woodlands that extend
for many miles to the north, providing suitable habitat.
The witness and his wife were clearly awestruck by the
experience. His wife remains uneasy
discussing the sighting. He is adamant that the figure
was neither human nor any known animal native to Minnesota.
Based on his detailed and consistent account, I find the
witness to be highly credible and honest.
That's pretty neat. Just imagine being out there
with your wife and seeing this thing across the lake.
Just just smoothly walking through the cocktails.
Really something. This happened since November
1983. Beltrami County, Minnesota
location details approximately 2 miles north of the Power Dam Rd.
County 12 on Burnt Out Bridge Rd.
The hunting location was about one mile West of Burnout Bridge
Rd., nearest Town Divinity nearest Rd.
County, 12 Power Dam Rd. observed I was deer hunting not
far from my home overlooking a cedar swamp.
I noticed a blackhead appearing above the pine trees.
The cedar trees, which were growing in a wet lowland, were
relatively short, around six or seven feet.
The head would periodically appear and disappear.
My best guess is that the creature was eating something
while moving through the lowland.
The siding lasted approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
I estimated the distance to be 50 to 75 yards away.
There was no noise or other notable behavior.
It did not act like a bear and I've never seen a black upright
figure visible for that length of time.
I was sitting on a fallen tree during the encounter.
My cousin who was hunting with me was about 1/4 mile away and
neither saw or heard anything unusual.
Wow, no other observations. Other witnesses?
There were no other witnesses. My cousin did not notice
anything. Other stories.
Yes, local on the shabby. People have reported sightings
in the area. Webster Lake is also considered
a hotspot for Bigfoot sightings. Time and condition The sighting
occurred near dusk during the second week of deer hunting and
northern Minnesota. The sky was overcast and the
wind was calm. There was snow on the ground
environment. The location consisted of a
cedar swamp with a hardwood Ridge overlooking where I was
sitting. Follow up investigation by Andy
Pi Spoke with the witness by phone and gathered the following
additional details. The sighting occurred between
3:00 and 4:00 PM near dusk. The creature's head was conical
or football shaped. It lacked a muscle and ears.
The entire head was black, and from the distance observed
facial features cannot be discerned.
The creature's movement lasted one to two minutes at a time
before it ducked down again. The cedar trees were
approximately 6 to 7 feet tall, and the witness estimated the
creature's height at around 8 feet.
The area was unusually quiet during the encounter, which the
witness found strange. Normally he would hear squirrels
and birds, but not that day. The witness believes the
creature was forging among the Cedars.
Initially he thought it might be a bear, but its height, lack of
muzzle or ears, head shape, upright behavior and movement
led him to conclude it was something else entirely.
The encounter ended as it got darker and the witness became
frightened and left. Later he returned to the area
and re measured the distance, determining it was closer to 100
yards. The witness was 16 years old at
the time of the encounter. The witness is highly credible.
He grew up in the area and has extensive experience hunting in
the woods of that region. He now holds advanced degrees in
biology and microbiology. Pretty neat.
This young guy had an experience like that all these years later,
you know, he's a he's got these advanced degrees.
Makes you think that, yeah, maybe he really did see
something there, This one says. Submitted by witness on
Saturday, July 6th, 2002. Some submissions over 20 years.
Midnight sighting by children near Cass Lake, MN.
Summer, July 17th, 2002. State Minnesota.
Beltrami County location details Wooded area along Black Duck Rd.
in near Hwy. 91 nearest town Cass Lake nearest Rd.
Hwy. 2. My family is Native American and
we live in northern Minnesota near a small town called Cass
Lake. About 15 miles into the woods, 1
evening during a spiritual gathering we suddenly heard a
loud scream similar to a woman's but much louder and incredibly
eerie. Many others in the area have
seen it too. When I saw the creature was
crouched on the side of the road.
It had dark shaggy hair and glowing eyes reflecting the car
had lights. Also noticed in 1980s my aunt
was driving on Hwy. 91 with her baby.
When the baby started crying she pulled over to the side of the
road give the baby a bottle. While stopped something pounded
on the back of the car scaring her.
She quickly drove away and about 10 feet down the road saw a tall
man like creature with brown hair and large cheeks.
Well, not fun. Many people have seen similar
creatures in the area. Other stories There are many
accounts. People often see the creature
while looking into the woods. I believe it lives in the area
because the elders in our community frequently talk about
it under time and conditions. It says the sighting occurred at
night during a typical summer evening environment, a forested
area, somewhat swampy. Under a follow up investigation,
it says the report was submitted by a 16 year old girl whom I've
interviewed by phone. I first spoke with her mother,
who stated without hesitation that she believed her daughter's
account. The sighting took place around
midnight during the summer of 2000.
The girl, her brother and a cousin were riding in the back
of an open pickup truck driven by an older cousin.
About 30 minutes before heading home, her brother saw a large
animal on the road near the house.
He mentioned it to the others but didn't know what it was.
As the truck travelled down the Sugar Sand Rd. in the opposite
direction from where the brother initially saw the animal, a girl
noticed a large creature crouched in the woods beside the
road. The truck's headlights
illuminated the animal's eyes, with which shone green.
The other children in the back of the truck also saw it.
As the truck passed, the creature stood upright on his
hind legs. It was about 6 feet tall,
possibly shorter, but dark, shaggy, furry hair, about 3
inches long, similar to a dog's. Its arms were long and it had
broad shoulders. The girl, along with the other
children, was frightened. She couldn't provide specific
details about the creature's head, neck or face except for
its glowing green eyes. The sighting occurred northeast
of Cass Lake, MN, on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, which
borders the Chippewa National Forest.
While black bear are common in the area, the girl was certain
the creature was neither a bear nor a man.
She later saw the Patterson Gimlin film and commented that
the creature she observed was more slender and not quite as
thick as the one in the film. The truck driver did not see the
creature and no one returned to the area to look for tracks.
If the animal her brother saw earlier was the same one seen by
the children in the truck, it would have had to pass near the
home they were visiting within the 30 minutes between the two
events. The girl was articulate and
believable in her descriptions. She firmly believes that Bigfoot
creatures inhabit the forest near her home.
Wow, that's pretty neat. I mean, that is a very remote
area up there, no doubt about that.
This one says it was submitted December 25th, 2002, some 22
years ago. Christmas.
It happened in 2001 summer July says state Minnesota, the
Trombie County Mimindiji, Minnesota nearest town nearest
town Rd. Town Hall Road and it says
observed. My friend and I were leaving my
dad's old house which is in the middle of the woods.
Normally there are tons of birds and other animals making noise,
but we noticed that everything had become completely silent.
Suddenly at the bottom of the golly we heard crashing sounds
in the woods. We turned back to see what it
was and saw a huge creature standing in the swamp.
It stood on 2 feet and was covered in light brown long
hair. It was shaking the trees and
after we watched for a moment it took off running through the
woods. As soon as it ran, so did we.
Well that would really be breathtaking to see that it says
and also notice it says. The most unusual things were the
complete silence as we stepped outside and the fact that the
creature was standing in a swamp and was able to run through the
waters and trees so quickly. Yeah, sometimes it's it is
strike me how these things can move so fast through the forest,
through heavy timber, whatever it is.
Yeah. Almost a paranormal speed. 2
witnesses says we were leaving the house through the backside.
Other stories now that I've heard time and conditions.
Middle of the afternoon on a summer clear day environment
swampy forested area. Follow up investigation.
This sighting involved 2 witnesses, both in their late
teens, the author of the report, AK, and her and her friend Elle.
The sighting took place northwest of Lake Bemidji, near
Alice Lake. The witnesses were at a house
that had been unoccupied for about a year.
AK had grown up in the area. Two other friends were present
but were on the opposite side of the house and did not witness
the event. AK described the silence outside
as striking. Normally.
The swampy area below the house was filled with animal sounds,
especially from frogs, but everything had gone completely
quiet. Upon exiting the house, the two
had crawled out through a window.
Their attention was drawn to a tree shaking in the swamp.
They saw a large upright, hair covered animal standing in the
water. As soon as her creature ran off,
the witnesses also fled. AK explained that she had seen
many bears while growing up in the area, but she had never seen
one that stood as tall as this creature or ran on two feet.
Although it crossed an open area, neither witness could
watch it for long because they ran immediately after it moved.
Both AK and L describe the creature in similar terms,
although neither provided detailed features.
AK was interviewed by phone three times, while L responded
via e-mail. L wrote.
We heard twigs snapping in the swamp.
When we turned to look there was a creature that looked quite
huge standing erect on 2 feet holding on to a tree and shaking
it. I was so scared and the first
thing that popped in my popped into my head was Bigfoot is
real, L added. I don't think it could have been
a bear because this creature didn't have a head the same
shaped the same as a bear. It was more human shaped.
Both witnesses mentioned its collar, which they described as
light brown. AK said it resembled the collar
of cardboard. AK estimated the creature's
height to be at least 7 feet, possibly 8 feet considering it
was standing in about a foot of water.
She also described it spilled as thick.
She recalled seeing its legs as it ran off and noted how it used
its arms to move a brush out of the way.
When asked about the distance, AK said she wasn't certain but
thought it was close enough to hit with a rock.
Man that's close now under investigation details, it says
Mike Cost assisted with the investigation and inspected the
area on January 7th, 2003. He described the swamp or pond
as being a few 100 feet across. The trees lined the banks but
none in the open water. Large pastures and fields
surrounded the area, with horses and visible horses tracks
nearby. Mike did not find any sign of
Sasquatch tracks, but noted that he hadn't expected to find
evidence from the event that occurred in 2001, two years
later. Year and a half later, he
observed several loud barking dogs in the area, one of which
approached him. When asked, AK confirmed that no
dogs were present at the time of the sighting.
In conclusion, AK Cream across as a thankful and genuinely and
genuinely interested in sharing what she and her friend had
witnessed. Both witnesses accounts aligned
in key details and their descriptions seem incredible.
This one says it was submitted on Thursday January 22nd, 2009.
Daylight sighting of a creature walking down the road as a pull
out of the driveway near Bemidji, MN.
It happened on April 8th, 2006. Beltrami County, Minnesota
Location details We live on a dead end road nearest town,
Bemidji County Road 7. I have heard sounds I have never
heard before. One morning my son woke me up
and said listen I didn't know what it was.
He had never heard it before either.
I woke up my boyfriend and he heard it too, but he couldn't
identify the sound. It puzzled him.
We often smell a skunk like odor but never see any skunks.
One day my boyfriend and I saw a creature walking down the middle
of the road. We just sat there watching it
for about 5 minutes. I called my son and he called a
friend who later took a picture of the footprints.
The creature was big, tall and black.
That was just one siding. On another occasion in the fall,
something hit our door with a stick.
When we went out to check, all we could smell was a terrible
stink. Man.
Talk about up close and personal.
Also notice we found a footprint in the clay and sand.
My son's friend took a picture of it.
I know what I saw and I'm not crazy other witnesses.
My boyfriend was with me. He was watching the road asking
and ask if a car was coming. Then he noticed something
walking on the middle of the road and kept looking at it.
He asked me is that someone walking?
I replied who would want to walk in this weather.
We both watched as it walked into the ditch.
From there we could see his head and shoulders.
That is really neat since it happened around 9:50 AM.
It was light drizzle and the weather was overcast.
Environment The areas near a lake with nearby rivers, trees,
open fields and swampy area across from the lake.
Follow up investigation. I spoke to the witness for about
an hour, with her boyfriend also contributing in the background.
The conversation began with her recounting the history of
strange occurrences around their home over the past few years.
The couple described hearing various unexplained
vocalizations, including screams and howls.
On one occasion, they heard what sounded like talking from behind
their garage, although they couldn't understand the words.
When her boyfriend and son went outside to try recording the
sounds, the noises stopped. She also described an incident
when something hit their door. Upon investigating, they found a
branch from a popular tree about 3 feet long.
Oddly, there are no popular trees in the immediate area and
a branch appeared to have been twisted off, not broken.
The morning of the sighting, the couple was leaving their home in
a car. They pulled out of the driveway
onto the dirt Rd. Her boyfriend asked if the coast
was clear. At that moment they both noticed
a tall black hair covered upright creature walking on two
legs down the road to the right, moving away from them.
Initially the creature was about 35 to 40 yards away.
They watched as it walked down into the ditch, back up onto the
road, and then into the ditch again as it continued toward the
woods. They observed it until it was
about 100 yards away before it disappeared into the forest.
After the sighting, they called her son, who arrived with a
friend. They found several footprints
along the road where the creature had walked.
The friend took a photo of the clearest track, which showed 5
toes. The footprint was estimated to
be 16 1/2 to 17 inches long. They estimated the creature's
height at around 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall.
It never turned around, so they did not see his face, but they
believed it was aware of their presence and was trying to leave
quickly while maintaining a steady stride.
The family lives just outside the expansive Chippewa National
Forest. This one says it happened
October 7th, 2022. Carlton County, Minnesota
location. Take Interstate I-35 N to the
Carlton exit then east on Hwy. 210 through Carlton to J Cook
State Park nearest town. Carlton nearest Rd.
Hwy. 210. I was camping at J Cook State
Park in Carlton County Minnesota around 3:30 AMI heard 3 deep
loud single tone noises followed by what sounded like a tree
knock. These noises were unlike
anything I've heard before. They weren't coyotes or wolves
and I don't believe a human could produce such loud sounds
in that tone. Also, I noticed the next morning
I noticed a partial handprint on my car door in a spot I wouldn't
have touched other witnesses. I was camping alone, says says
3:30 AM. Dark and clear night
environment. The campground surrounded by
Birch, pine and oak trees. The park features dense woods,
large rocks, trails and the Saint Louis River Gorge running
through it. Follow up investigation by Jimmy
Carroll, Telenko says this report came to us through an
indirect channel. A Walmart worker noticed my
Bigfoot necklace and shared a related story which included a
sighting approximately 40 miles southwest of a location
described here. The witness and her friend were
travelling N on I-35 just past Banning Junction near Kettle
River Bridge. They saw a massive dark figure
standing on the edge of the woods about 50 yards from the
river. The figure stood out distinctly
against the light green spring foliage.
The creature was described as approximately 7 1/2 feet tall
and three feet wide, covered with black or very dark brown
hair about 6 inches long. They were unable to see facial
features but noted its massive size as they passed.
The figure turned to its right and walked into the woods.
Sighting occurred around 7:30 PM and it says second sighting July
2022. The same witness later reported
the second sighting about 60 miles north of the 1st and J
Cook State Park. While traveling E on Hwy. 210
near Oldenburg Point at around 8:00 PM, they saw the top of a
tree swaying vigorously. As they approached, they
observed a creature 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall with the massive build
and covered in black hair shaking the tree.
The tree was approximately 8 inches in diameter.
That's a good sized tree. Due to the 25 mile an hour speed
limit, they were moving slowly and had a Clearview.
The creature eventually turned and walked down a trail,
disappearing into the woods. The current report occurred
about 1 1/2 months later, this October 2022 and covering one
mile away from the second siding.
The witness, a single woman camping alone, reported waking
up from a nightmare in which someone was trying to open her
tent zipper. She screamed, but no one was
there. She checked the time on her
phone, 330 AMA. Few minutes later, while white
awake, she heard three very loud, deep guttural growls.
About 30 seconds after that, she heard a distinct wood knock.
She recognized the sound from previous conversations with
experts and her own experiences attempting wood knocks.
She described the volume of growl as being louder than a
passing train. That's loud.
Even though the train tracks are about a mile from the
campground, these sounds seem to come from the river gorge
located about 1/4 mile away. The sound came from a quarter
mile away, but it sounded louder than a train that was a mile
away. Pretty loud.
Pretty loud thing. When she got up under that
morning, she noticed a partial handprint on her car door and an
area she wouldn't have touched. We believe this report is
credible given the consistency of other sightings and
vocalizations reported in the area.
This particular work, coupled with the two earlier sightings,
strongly suggest activity in J Cook State Park.
We plan to investigate the area further as we live approximately
20 miles away. Well, that's a pretty good
cluster of sightings right there.
This one is dated September 1978.
Then we'll do one more. It says fall Crow Wing County
Minnesota Location details We live 5.1 miles east of Minnesota
Hwy. 6 Emily, Minnesota Crow Wing County observed We live on
Little Pine Rd. Emily, MN for 12 years and
frequently heard odd animal sounds coming out of the woods.
There was slash is uninhabited wilderness for 20 miles north
and 15 miles to the South. Moments after I crawled into
bed, my wife whispered to me. Jim, there's something outside
the window. So I quietly got up and when I
flipped the light switch on, I saw three sets of eyes.
Each set of eyes was 5 to 8 inches apart.
They were somewhat orange around the periphery and big outlines
of heads were pressed against the window screen.
Oh boy. One of the critters appeared to
be stooping to see into the top of the window 6 feet above the
ground. After a blood curdling by
sybilic scream, the bipedal critters run off.
Also notice we frequently heard animal sounds coming out of the
woods that I used to describe as baritone wolf howling backwards
in German. Unlike a wolf's howl that starts
with a high pitched going low, these sounds started low and
went high. Other witnesses, just my wife
and I, I had just turned off the bedroom light of the stories.
None of the neighbors wanted to talk about their experiences.
That's kind of scary. Time and conditions
approximately 10:30 PM are normal.
Bedtime follow up investigation says.
I spoke with the witness by telephone on June 14th.
He was very matter of fact and he is curious about Bigfoot.
Years after his encounter, he was reading a book about Bigfoot
and realized it is nighttime. Visitors were probably just that
one evening in September 1978. The witness and his wife were
returning to bed. His wife was suddenly scared and
told him there was something outside the window.
When he turned on a light, the witness expected to see
raccoons, but instead he observed 3 unidentified
creatures. One of the creatures was bending
over as if trying to peer into the window, another one was
standing straight, and the third creature was small.
They appeared to be trying to look into the bedroom window,
which was 8 feet high at the top.
When the light was turned on, there was a sort of trilling,
tongue rolling noise and then they left walking bent forward.
The witness said the figures were definitely bipedal, but it
was too dark to determine the car.
When the witness checked the window screen, there was no
damage to it. He did not look for tracks
because the ground was too hard. The area is heavily forested.
The witness said there is a lake about 1/4 mile to the north of
the house. The area is also close to the
Duck Lake State Wildlife Management Area and it's fairly
close to Hill River State Forest.
The witness said he also heard howls or screams two or three
times during the period he lived at the residence.
The vocalizations came from the other side of the lake to the
north of the house. I found this witness to be
credible. He has lived in northern
Minnesota since 1972. He has spent about nine years
working in the woods. Wouldn't that be something to go
down? You open the window up and wow,
there's three Bigfoot peering in from outside.
Really, really wild stuff. This was submitted.
It says January 19th, 2009. The actual sighting happened
1992 in the summer. August to be specific happened
in Medina County, Minnesota. Location details 4 to 5 miles
north of Medina and one mile W Highway 71 nearest Rd.
Highway 71 or Leaf Rd. observed in 1992 or 93.
We visited family friends while playing outside.
We kids build a tent like Fort using sheets and clothespins
over the clothesline. Later we were called in for
dinner 8 and then watched a movie.
When it was time to leave, the owner of the house noticed the
Fort still standing and said no one is going anywhere until
those sheets are in the house. I was young so I got out of the
work and sat in the van with my mom.
She turned on the headlights so the others could see while
taking the Fort down. As we watched, my mom pointed
toward a shadow near a tree about 20 to 30 feet from the
kids and asked, do you see that shadow over there?
I couldn't see anything at first, so she shined the
flashlight near it, careful not to spook whatever it was.
She called my older brother, who immediately saw the figure.
He grabbed his flashlight and ran toward it.
When I approached the clothesline, I shined the light
on the trees nearby, avoiding directly illuminating the shadow
figure because I was afraid. I saw the outline of a tall,
dark figure, a slightly different shade than the tree
bark. It was about 6 1/2 to 7 feet
tall. I told the others that something
was by the tree, watching us. The figure remained motionless,
standing upright. We hurriedly took down the Fort,
gathering the sheets and tossing them into a bag before before
running to the van. I sat in the vans rear facing
seat. My mom backed down the driveway.
The headlights swept over the spot where the figure had been
standing. Everyone except me saw the upper
body or shoulders of a large figure.
As we drove away I saw the figure running along the tree
line toward the road. I shouted for my mom to drive
faster. She said she was already going
30 mile an hour. The figure.
It ran along the ditch beside the van for nearly half a mile
before veering off. Its movements were fluid, with
long strides and arms swinging in a smooth, almost effortless
manner. It didn't pump its arms like a
human sprinter. I remember my brother being
scared as he hurriedly ripped the sheets from the line, the
close blends flying everywhere. He was fearless in my eyes, so
his fear made a big impression on me.
When the figure chased us, I turned to look out the back
window and the red light from the tail lights.
I saw the shadow clearly, a tall figure on two legs running fast.
It was no more than 10 feet from the van, moving with incredible
speed, especially for its size. About a week before my mom and I
were driving to the same house, we saw what I initially thought
was a skunk running across the road.
However, after cresting the hill, we saw a path trampled
through a cornfield about four to five feet wide.
The corn was flattened, but still on the stalks.
Might be a big skunk, wouldn't it?
There are 4 witnesses, Tolas says.
Around the same time, a person near Sabika, north of New York
Mills, reported seeing a large, fast, hairy figure on two legs
crossing his field. This sighting was about 15 years
earlier. Time and conditions 9:00 to 9:30
PM. Shortly after this clear and
pleasant weather environment, the area was more wooded than
with a mix of the city's trees and some Pines on the far side
of the yard. Follow up Investigation The
incident occurred in the late summer of 92 or 93.
The older brothers, then 12 and 13 years old, provided more
detailed and reliable testimony. The younger brother, 8 to 9
years old at the time, corroborated much of the story
but had less precise recollections.
The figure was approximately 7 feet tall, 3 feet wide at the
shoulders, with AV shaped torso and dark fur about 3 to 4 inches
long. Its head was slightly crested
with a flat face and no visible neck.
Its arms reached just above its knees and swung gracefully in
white arcs as it ran. The figure pursued the van for
about a half a mile, running at an estimated 30 mile per hour
and a ditch alongside the road. It then veered off into an open
field. The area has a history of
similar sightings and is a mix of farms, woods and swamps.
Well that would be pretty scary for a 1213 year old kid to see
one of these giant Bigfoot chasing in your van down the
highway. Great sightings out of
Minnesota. Until next time.
This is UFO warning over and out.
