1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,240 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,680 In this episode we're talking about Minnesota Bigfoot reports. 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,320 That's correct, Minnesota Bigfoot reports. 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,480 Now we're told this happened back in 1988 during the winter 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,880 in Minnesota. Anoka County location details It 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:29,200 says head north on Lexington Ave. from Hwy. 96 cross 85th 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,320 Ave. and continue past Flower Field Rd. 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,160 You will barely see Hidden Lake on your right. 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,680 Take a right on Woodland Rd. just past the church, then a 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,760 right on 92nd circle. Follow the long driveway 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,640 straight ahead or walk in on your left. 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,320 You will find several trails that converge. 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,880 Looking S toward Hidden Lake you will see the shelters. 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,360 This is the general area where the Bigfoot was sighted. 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320 They tell us the nearest town is Circle Pines. 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,720 Nearest Rd. Woodland Rd. observed. 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,880 This is a second hand report. Around 1988 our 10 year old 18 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,360 daughter and her friend, a neighbor were walking on a trail 19 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,800 near our home. They came across a large beige 20 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,320 gorilla like creature. Terrified, they ran home 21 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,400 immediately. Our daughter was adamant it was 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,400 not a person in a costume or any animal she recognized. 23 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,600 She described it as a tall, two legged creature completely 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,200 covered in beige hair. They reported the incident to me 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,920 shortly after it happened. It was winter and there was snow 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,680 on the ground. Both girls were wearing boots. 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,480 I asked him to show me where they had seen the creature so I 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000 could check the footprints, but they refused to go back, saying 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,640 they were too frightened. On their way to tell me, they 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120 informed a neighbor who dismissed their story. 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,000 For years, I didn't think much about the sighting. 32 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,080 However, after reading about Bigfoot online, I've come to 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720 believe that one might have lived in the woods here. 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,240 Although it's not a large area, the marshy conditions around the 35 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,639 lake make it difficult to navigate, additional observation 36 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,280 says, even now, 15 years later. Of course, this was reported in 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720 2003, so we're 20 years beyond that. 38 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,400 I've noticed shelters near the area and a strong odor of 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,720 excrement. Loud screams have also been 40 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520 heard nearby. Footprints of an unusually large 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,160 size with the wide stride have been seen in the snow. 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,440 And who's walking around barefoot in the snow? 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,160 2 girls were involved. They were exploring and looking 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,120 for a tree with boards to climb when they came across a 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,560 creature. Other stories? 46 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,200 None. I suspect others might be 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,840 hesitant to share similar sightings for fear of being 48 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,120 dismissed. However, the shelters in the 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,520 area are real and hard to explain otherwise, says time and 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,960 condition. This occurred during the day 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,840 under clear conditions with ample light. 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,680 While it might have been early spring, there wasn't snow 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880 underground. Well, it's Minnesota, so that 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,280 could be about any time, huh? The inciting took place in a 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120 clearing between the woods and Hidden Lake. 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,440 The area is wooded with marshy terrain near the lake making it 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,760 difficult to traverse. The location of this sighting. 58 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,800 This this is the follow up report. 59 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,480 It says the location of the sighting is just north of 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,000 Minneapolis, Saint Paul and a sparsely populated suburban 61 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,640 area. A chain of marshy lakes with 62 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:29,160 surrounding lowlands and wooded areas extends into this region 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,960 from the north. I visited the location with G1 64 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,040 of the witnesses, now 25. Remember this is 20 years ago 65 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,480 and her mother who submitted the report. 66 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520 I also interviewed the second witness, Kay, by phone. 67 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,760 Both women provided consistent descriptions of a tall, upright, 68 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,240 blonde colored gorilla approximately 50 to 100 yards 69 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,880 away. The creature was spotted within 70 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,120 a wild area roughly 1/4 mile from the girls homes. 71 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280 It stood on a rise and was fully visible. 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,600 Initially bent over, it straightened and appeared to 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,280 notice the girls before they fled. 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000 The girls described the encounter as brief but 75 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,440 memorable. Both seemed honest and sincere, 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,040 genuinely believing in what they had seen. 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Kay noted that the animal appeared dirty, especially its 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,839 legs. At the time, they called it a 79 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560 gorilla because they were unfamiliar with Bigfoot. 80 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,200 The shelters mentioned by G's mother appeared to have been 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,760 made by local children. This sighting is notable for its 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,720 proximity to the Twin Cities. The chain of lakes and 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,160 marshlands likely provided a natural corridor more remote 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,600 areas. Interestingly, the creature's 85 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,400 collar was described as blonde. Similar sightings in Minnesota 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,400 have reported the animals in tan, cardboard or even white 87 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,840 shades, suggesting a possible variations and regional Bigfoot 88 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,400 appearances. That's pretty neat. 89 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,720 Yeah, they. I mean, what a memory. 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,680 All these years later, they're still talking about it. 91 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000 This one says. Daylight sighting by a couple on 92 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,280 a frozen lake near Centerville, year 2000. 93 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,680 It was winter in February. Date actually 2/21/2000 February 94 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,280 21st 2000 State Minnesota. Anoka County again. 95 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,800 Location details a small lake north of the Twin Cities metro 96 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,280 area. The lake features a wooded 97 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,040 island and an extensive area of marshland. 98 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120 Nearby. A nature park is located along 99 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,400 the western shore of the lake. Nearest town Centerville Nearest 100 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,840 Rd. Anoka County Road 14 In February 101 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,600 of 2000, my wife Jean and I went for a walk with our two Labrador 102 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,600 Retrievers. As we looked across a small lake 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,800 with an island, we saw a tall human like figure walking 104 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,480 briskly across a frozen lake. Its body was dark, almost black, 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,320 while its head was a lighter brown with hair extending to its 106 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,160 shoulders. When we first spotted it, the 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,840 figure was approximately 350 yards away. 108 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,880 It moved toward a patch of cactails, coming within 150 to 109 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800 175 yards of us. At that point, only his 110 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,840 shoulders and head were visible above the cattails. 111 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,480 At 1 moment, 2 geese flew overhead, honking. 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,040 The figure turned its entire upper body to look at them 113 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,480 before continuing into a wooded area where we lost sight of it. 114 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,080 I wanted to get a closer look, but my wife was frightened and 115 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,360 returned to the truck. Strangely, our dogs, who are 116 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,760 usually by my side, refused to follow me and acted nervous. 117 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,760 I ventured into the area alone but could not see over the 118 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,640 cocktails, which were taller than me at six feet. 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960 The snow and ice were hard packed, so I found no 120 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,880 footprints. To this day, when Jean talks 121 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,600 about the encounter, it raises a hair on her neck. 122 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,280 She initially didn't want me to report it, fearing for the 123 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,800 safety of the creature we'd seen. 124 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,480 This is an experience I'll never forget. 125 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,280 Additional observation says the figure's entire upper body 126 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,320 turned when it looked at the geese. 127 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,440 It had a long stride and moved quickly. 128 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,120 My dog's behaviour was highly unusual. 129 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600 They acted nervous and refused to follow me, which had never 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,920 happened before. Other witnesses 2 witnesses. 131 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,640 My wife and myself. Other stories. 132 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,920 About a week later I heard of another sighting near the Saint 133 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,200 Qua River. Time and conditions between 8:30 134 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,960 and 9:30 AM on a bright sunny morning. 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,840 The weather was warm and the snow was hard packed. 136 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,200 The figure was travelling SE to northwest and we were looking NE 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,200 environment. The area consists of lowlands, 138 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,120 marshes and broken Woodlands. Then the follow up investigation 139 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,120 says by Andy Pi spoke with the witness by phone and gathered 140 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,160 additional details. The figure was first seen 141 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,840 approximately 350 yards away as it rounded a point on the island 142 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,400 and walked north northeast along the lake, paralleling the 143 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480 island's shoreline. It moved through cocktails that 144 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,760 were about 6 feet tall, reaching up to its upper chest just below 145 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,200 the shoulders. The figure eventually crossed to 146 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,800 the island and disappeared into the trees. 147 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,920 The entire siding lasted less than 3 minutes, with the closest 148 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,400 approach being about 150 yards. The figure covered roughly 300 149 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,560 yards in that time. The witness described the figure 150 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,560 as standing between 7 and 8 feet tall, with a massive and 151 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,360 muscular upper body. Its movements were rapid and its 152 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280 stride was long. It was uniformly black and 153 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,640 collar except for the hair on its head, which was brown and 154 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080 about 6 inches long. The head appeared to sit 155 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,360 directly on the shoulders without a visible neck. 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,840 The figure turned at the waist to look at the geese flying 157 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,920 overhead. Its arm swung as it walked, but 158 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,400 only the upper arms were visible due to the cocktails. 159 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,840 The witness was particularly struck by the behavior of his 160 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,600 dogs, which are trained hunting dogs and typically accompany him 161 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400 in the woods. On this occasion, they retreated 162 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120 to the truck and refused to follow him. 163 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,200 The local train includes bogs and broken Woodlands that extend 164 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640 for many miles to the north, providing suitable habitat. 165 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400 The witness and his wife were clearly awestruck by the 166 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,000 experience. His wife remains uneasy 167 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,400 discussing the sighting. He is adamant that the figure 168 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,880 was neither human nor any known animal native to Minnesota. 169 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,760 Based on his detailed and consistent account, I find the 170 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,680 witness to be highly credible and honest. 171 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,880 That's pretty neat. Just imagine being out there 172 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,200 with your wife and seeing this thing across the lake. 173 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Just just smoothly walking through the cocktails. 174 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,240 Really something. This happened since November 175 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,480 1983. Beltrami County, Minnesota 176 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,720 location details approximately 2 miles north of the Power Dam Rd. 177 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,400 County 12 on Burnt Out Bridge Rd. 178 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,880 The hunting location was about one mile West of Burnout Bridge 179 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,640 Rd., nearest Town Divinity nearest Rd. 180 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,920 County, 12 Power Dam Rd. observed I was deer hunting not 181 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,880 far from my home overlooking a cedar swamp. 182 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,000 I noticed a blackhead appearing above the pine trees. 183 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,280 The cedar trees, which were growing in a wet lowland, were 184 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,680 relatively short, around six or seven feet. 185 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,920 The head would periodically appear and disappear. 186 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,120 My best guess is that the creature was eating something 187 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,560 while moving through the lowland. 188 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,320 The siding lasted approximately 10 to 15 minutes. 189 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640 I estimated the distance to be 50 to 75 yards away. 190 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,600 There was no noise or other notable behavior. 191 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,920 It did not act like a bear and I've never seen a black upright 192 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,280 figure visible for that length of time. 193 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,400 I was sitting on a fallen tree during the encounter. 194 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,600 My cousin who was hunting with me was about 1/4 mile away and 195 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520 neither saw or heard anything unusual. 196 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,200 Wow, no other observations. Other witnesses? 197 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,160 There were no other witnesses. My cousin did not notice 198 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,560 anything. Other stories. 199 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,680 Yes, local on the shabby. People have reported sightings 200 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,240 in the area. Webster Lake is also considered 201 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,160 a hotspot for Bigfoot sightings. Time and condition The sighting 202 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400 occurred near dusk during the second week of deer hunting and 203 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,080 northern Minnesota. The sky was overcast and the 204 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880 wind was calm. There was snow on the ground 205 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,600 environment. The location consisted of a 206 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,960 cedar swamp with a hardwood Ridge overlooking where I was 207 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,640 sitting. Follow up investigation by Andy 208 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Pi Spoke with the witness by phone and gathered the following 209 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,600 additional details. The sighting occurred between 210 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,560 3:00 and 4:00 PM near dusk. The creature's head was conical 211 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:55,000 or football shaped. It lacked a muscle and ears. 212 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,400 The entire head was black, and from the distance observed 213 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,440 facial features cannot be discerned. 214 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,560 The creature's movement lasted one to two minutes at a time 215 00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:07,160 before it ducked down again. The cedar trees were 216 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800 approximately 6 to 7 feet tall, and the witness estimated the 217 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,520 creature's height at around 8 feet. 218 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,600 The area was unusually quiet during the encounter, which the 219 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,440 witness found strange. Normally he would hear squirrels 220 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,680 and birds, but not that day. The witness believes the 221 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,560 creature was forging among the Cedars. 222 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Initially he thought it might be a bear, but its height, lack of 223 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,840 muzzle or ears, head shape, upright behavior and movement 224 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,440 led him to conclude it was something else entirely. 225 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,800 The encounter ended as it got darker and the witness became 226 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640 frightened and left. Later he returned to the area 227 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,200 and re measured the distance, determining it was closer to 100 228 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,560 yards. The witness was 16 years old at 229 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,480 the time of the encounter. The witness is highly credible. 230 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,960 He grew up in the area and has extensive experience hunting in 231 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920 the woods of that region. He now holds advanced degrees in 232 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,480 biology and microbiology. Pretty neat. 233 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,760 This young guy had an experience like that all these years later, 234 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,120 you know, he's a he's got these advanced degrees. 235 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,520 Makes you think that, yeah, maybe he really did see 236 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,040 something there, This one says. Submitted by witness on 237 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,920 Saturday, July 6th, 2002. Some submissions over 20 years. 238 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,200 Midnight sighting by children near Cass Lake, MN. 239 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Summer, July 17th, 2002. State Minnesota. 240 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,240 Beltrami County location details Wooded area along Black Duck Rd. 241 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160 in near Hwy. 91 nearest town Cass Lake nearest Rd. 242 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,320 Hwy. 2. My family is Native American and 243 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,040 we live in northern Minnesota near a small town called Cass 244 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,720 Lake. About 15 miles into the woods, 1 245 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,760 evening during a spiritual gathering we suddenly heard a 246 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,040 loud scream similar to a woman's but much louder and incredibly 247 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880 eerie. Many others in the area have 248 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,400 seen it too. When I saw the creature was 249 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,760 crouched on the side of the road. 250 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,040 It had dark shaggy hair and glowing eyes reflecting the car 251 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,680 had lights. Also noticed in 1980s my aunt 252 00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:05,960 was driving on Hwy. 91 with her baby. 253 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,600 When the baby started crying she pulled over to the side of the 254 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,880 road give the baby a bottle. While stopped something pounded 255 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,640 on the back of the car scaring her. 256 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,400 She quickly drove away and about 10 feet down the road saw a tall 257 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600 man like creature with brown hair and large cheeks. 258 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,880 Well, not fun. Many people have seen similar 259 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,840 creatures in the area. Other stories There are many 260 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960 accounts. People often see the creature 261 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000 while looking into the woods. I believe it lives in the area 262 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,400 because the elders in our community frequently talk about 263 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,680 it under time and conditions. It says the sighting occurred at 264 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,720 night during a typical summer evening environment, a forested 265 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,280 area, somewhat swampy. Under a follow up investigation, 266 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,440 it says the report was submitted by a 16 year old girl whom I've 267 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,440 interviewed by phone. I first spoke with her mother, 268 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,360 who stated without hesitation that she believed her daughter's 269 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,880 account. The sighting took place around 270 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280 midnight during the summer of 2000. 271 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,560 The girl, her brother and a cousin were riding in the back 272 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520 of an open pickup truck driven by an older cousin. 273 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,480 About 30 minutes before heading home, her brother saw a large 274 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,480 animal on the road near the house. 275 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560 He mentioned it to the others but didn't know what it was. 276 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,720 As the truck travelled down the Sugar Sand Rd. in the opposite 277 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200 direction from where the brother initially saw the animal, a girl 278 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,280 noticed a large creature crouched in the woods beside the 279 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,280 road. The truck's headlights 280 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,520 illuminated the animal's eyes, with which shone green. 281 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,280 The other children in the back of the truck also saw it. 282 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,280 As the truck passed, the creature stood upright on his 283 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,640 hind legs. It was about 6 feet tall, 284 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,920 possibly shorter, but dark, shaggy, furry hair, about 3 285 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,640 inches long, similar to a dog's. Its arms were long and it had 286 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640 broad shoulders. The girl, along with the other 287 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 children, was frightened. She couldn't provide specific 288 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240 details about the creature's head, neck or face except for 289 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,480 its glowing green eyes. The sighting occurred northeast 290 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,560 of Cass Lake, MN, on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, which 291 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,600 borders the Chippewa National Forest. 292 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,120 While black bear are common in the area, the girl was certain 293 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,520 the creature was neither a bear nor a man. 294 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,000 She later saw the Patterson Gimlin film and commented that 295 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,520 the creature she observed was more slender and not quite as 296 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,160 thick as the one in the film. The truck driver did not see the 297 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,000 creature and no one returned to the area to look for tracks. 298 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,360 If the animal her brother saw earlier was the same one seen by 299 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,720 the children in the truck, it would have had to pass near the 300 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,960 home they were visiting within the 30 minutes between the two 301 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,440 events. The girl was articulate and 302 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,480 believable in her descriptions. She firmly believes that Bigfoot 303 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,400 creatures inhabit the forest near her home. 304 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,440 Wow, that's pretty neat. I mean, that is a very remote 305 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,600 area up there, no doubt about that. 306 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:06,040 This one says it was submitted December 25th, 2002, some 22 307 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:06,880 years ago. Christmas. 308 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,400 It happened in 2001 summer July says state Minnesota, the 309 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,000 Trombie County Mimindiji, Minnesota nearest town nearest 310 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,760 town Rd. Town Hall Road and it says 311 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,560 observed. My friend and I were leaving my 312 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800 dad's old house which is in the middle of the woods. 313 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,440 Normally there are tons of birds and other animals making noise, 314 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,360 but we noticed that everything had become completely silent. 315 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,680 Suddenly at the bottom of the golly we heard crashing sounds 316 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240 in the woods. We turned back to see what it 317 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,480 was and saw a huge creature standing in the swamp. 318 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,000 It stood on 2 feet and was covered in light brown long 319 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,880 hair. It was shaking the trees and 320 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,840 after we watched for a moment it took off running through the 321 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,960 woods. As soon as it ran, so did we. 322 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,120 Well that would really be breathtaking to see that it says 323 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,040 and also notice it says. The most unusual things were the 324 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,360 complete silence as we stepped outside and the fact that the 325 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:10,160 creature was standing in a swamp and was able to run through the 326 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,560 waters and trees so quickly. Yeah, sometimes it's it is 327 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,120 strike me how these things can move so fast through the forest, 328 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,040 through heavy timber, whatever it is. 329 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,800 Yeah. Almost a paranormal speed. 2 330 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,880 witnesses says we were leaving the house through the backside. 331 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,080 Other stories now that I've heard time and conditions. 332 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,920 Middle of the afternoon on a summer clear day environment 333 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,240 swampy forested area. Follow up investigation. 334 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,480 This sighting involved 2 witnesses, both in their late 335 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,080 teens, the author of the report, AK, and her and her friend Elle. 336 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,320 The sighting took place northwest of Lake Bemidji, near 337 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,360 Alice Lake. The witnesses were at a house 338 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,680 that had been unoccupied for about a year. 339 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,720 AK had grown up in the area. Two other friends were present 340 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,200 but were on the opposite side of the house and did not witness 341 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,400 the event. AK described the silence outside 342 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,160 as striking. Normally. 343 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000 The swampy area below the house was filled with animal sounds, 344 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,360 especially from frogs, but everything had gone completely 345 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,560 quiet. Upon exiting the house, the two 346 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,880 had crawled out through a window. 347 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,680 Their attention was drawn to a tree shaking in the swamp. 348 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,200 They saw a large upright, hair covered animal standing in the 349 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720 water. As soon as her creature ran off, 350 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,240 the witnesses also fled. AK explained that she had seen 351 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,200 many bears while growing up in the area, but she had never seen 352 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,120 one that stood as tall as this creature or ran on two feet. 353 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,480 Although it crossed an open area, neither witness could 354 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,040 watch it for long because they ran immediately after it moved. 355 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,200 Both AK and L describe the creature in similar terms, 356 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,160 although neither provided detailed features. 357 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,080 AK was interviewed by phone three times, while L responded 358 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,760 via e-mail. L wrote. 359 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,520 We heard twigs snapping in the swamp. 360 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,360 When we turned to look there was a creature that looked quite 361 00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:14,640 huge standing erect on 2 feet holding on to a tree and shaking 362 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,240 it. I was so scared and the first 363 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,680 thing that popped in my popped into my head was Bigfoot is 364 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,920 real, L added. I don't think it could have been 365 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480 a bear because this creature didn't have a head the same 366 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,960 shaped the same as a bear. It was more human shaped. 367 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,480 Both witnesses mentioned its collar, which they described as 368 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,240 light brown. AK said it resembled the collar 369 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,640 of cardboard. AK estimated the creature's 370 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,160 height to be at least 7 feet, possibly 8 feet considering it 371 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,800 was standing in about a foot of water. 372 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,920 She also described it spilled as thick. 373 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,920 She recalled seeing its legs as it ran off and noted how it used 374 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520 its arms to move a brush out of the way. 375 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,400 When asked about the distance, AK said she wasn't certain but 376 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,920 thought it was close enough to hit with a rock. 377 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,680 Man that's close now under investigation details, it says 378 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Mike Cost assisted with the investigation and inspected the 379 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,040 area on January 7th, 2003. He described the swamp or pond 380 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,000 as being a few 100 feet across. The trees lined the banks but 381 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,800 none in the open water. Large pastures and fields 382 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,040 surrounded the area, with horses and visible horses tracks 383 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,480 nearby. Mike did not find any sign of 384 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,360 Sasquatch tracks, but noted that he hadn't expected to find 385 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:34,120 evidence from the event that occurred in 2001, two years 386 00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:35,960 later. Year and a half later, he 387 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,760 observed several loud barking dogs in the area, one of which 388 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,880 approached him. When asked, AK confirmed that no 389 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,080 dogs were present at the time of the sighting. 390 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,560 In conclusion, AK Cream across as a thankful and genuinely and 391 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,680 genuinely interested in sharing what she and her friend had 392 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,400 witnessed. Both witnesses accounts aligned 393 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840 in key details and their descriptions seem incredible. 394 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,840 This one says it was submitted on Thursday January 22nd, 2009. 395 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:07,880 Daylight sighting of a creature walking down the road as a pull 396 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,200 out of the driveway near Bemidji, MN. 397 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,320 It happened on April 8th, 2006. Beltrami County, Minnesota 398 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,680 Location details We live on a dead end road nearest town, 399 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,320 Bemidji County Road 7. I have heard sounds I have never 400 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,000 heard before. One morning my son woke me up 401 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,440 and said listen I didn't know what it was. 402 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,560 He had never heard it before either. 403 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,120 I woke up my boyfriend and he heard it too, but he couldn't 404 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,280 identify the sound. It puzzled him. 405 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,120 We often smell a skunk like odor but never see any skunks. 406 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,320 One day my boyfriend and I saw a creature walking down the middle 407 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000 of the road. We just sat there watching it 408 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,080 for about 5 minutes. I called my son and he called a 409 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,720 friend who later took a picture of the footprints. 410 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,480 The creature was big, tall and black. 411 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,200 That was just one siding. On another occasion in the fall, 412 00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,120 something hit our door with a stick. 413 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,400 When we went out to check, all we could smell was a terrible 414 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,320 stink. Man. 415 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,520 Talk about up close and personal. 416 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,800 Also notice we found a footprint in the clay and sand. 417 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,840 My son's friend took a picture of it. 418 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,040 I know what I saw and I'm not crazy other witnesses. 419 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040 My boyfriend was with me. He was watching the road asking 420 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,320 and ask if a car was coming. Then he noticed something 421 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,440 walking on the middle of the road and kept looking at it. 422 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,280 He asked me is that someone walking? 423 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,320 I replied who would want to walk in this weather. 424 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,360 We both watched as it walked into the ditch. 425 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320 From there we could see his head and shoulders. 426 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,840 That is really neat since it happened around 9:50 AM. 427 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,320 It was light drizzle and the weather was overcast. 428 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,440 Environment The areas near a lake with nearby rivers, trees, 429 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,640 open fields and swampy area across from the lake. 430 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,200 Follow up investigation. I spoke to the witness for about 431 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,600 an hour, with her boyfriend also contributing in the background. 432 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,120 The conversation began with her recounting the history of 433 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:09,240 strange occurrences around their home over the past few years. 434 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,480 The couple described hearing various unexplained 435 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,400 vocalizations, including screams and howls. 436 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,640 On one occasion, they heard what sounded like talking from behind 437 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,520 their garage, although they couldn't understand the words. 438 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,600 When her boyfriend and son went outside to try recording the 439 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,800 sounds, the noises stopped. She also described an incident 440 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480 when something hit their door. Upon investigating, they found a 441 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,000 branch from a popular tree about 3 feet long. 442 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,080 Oddly, there are no popular trees in the immediate area and 443 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,640 a branch appeared to have been twisted off, not broken. 444 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,600 The morning of the sighting, the couple was leaving their home in 445 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,200 a car. They pulled out of the driveway 446 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,520 onto the dirt Rd. Her boyfriend asked if the coast 447 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,640 was clear. At that moment they both noticed 448 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,080 a tall black hair covered upright creature walking on two 449 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,000 legs down the road to the right, moving away from them. 450 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,880 Initially the creature was about 35 to 40 yards away. 451 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,200 They watched as it walked down into the ditch, back up onto the 452 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,120 road, and then into the ditch again as it continued toward the 453 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,520 woods. They observed it until it was 454 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,880 about 100 yards away before it disappeared into the forest. 455 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,720 After the sighting, they called her son, who arrived with a 456 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,440 friend. They found several footprints 457 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,400 along the road where the creature had walked. 458 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,520 The friend took a photo of the clearest track, which showed 5 459 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,760 toes. The footprint was estimated to 460 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,520 be 16 1/2 to 17 inches long. They estimated the creature's 461 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,120 height at around 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall. 462 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,680 It never turned around, so they did not see his face, but they 463 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,720 believed it was aware of their presence and was trying to leave 464 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,080 quickly while maintaining a steady stride. 465 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,600 The family lives just outside the expansive Chippewa National 466 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,120 Forest. This one says it happened 467 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,920 October 7th, 2022. Carlton County, Minnesota 468 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,880 location. Take Interstate I-35 N to the 469 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,440 Carlton exit then east on Hwy. 210 through Carlton to J Cook 470 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,680 State Park nearest town. Carlton nearest Rd. 471 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000 Hwy. 210. I was camping at J Cook State 472 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,120 Park in Carlton County Minnesota around 3:30 AMI heard 3 deep 473 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,720 loud single tone noises followed by what sounded like a tree 474 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,520 knock. These noises were unlike 475 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,520 anything I've heard before. They weren't coyotes or wolves 476 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,080 and I don't believe a human could produce such loud sounds 477 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,600 in that tone. Also, I noticed the next morning 478 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,760 I noticed a partial handprint on my car door in a spot I wouldn't 479 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,960 have touched other witnesses. I was camping alone, says says 480 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:43,960 3:30 AM. Dark and clear night 481 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,840 environment. The campground surrounded by 482 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,920 Birch, pine and oak trees. The park features dense woods, 483 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,680 large rocks, trails and the Saint Louis River Gorge running 484 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,640 through it. Follow up investigation by Jimmy 485 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,200 Carroll, Telenko says this report came to us through an 486 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,800 indirect channel. A Walmart worker noticed my 487 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,840 Bigfoot necklace and shared a related story which included a 488 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,680 sighting approximately 40 miles southwest of a location 489 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,200 described here. The witness and her friend were 490 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,480 travelling N on I-35 just past Banning Junction near Kettle 491 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,440 River Bridge. They saw a massive dark figure 492 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,760 standing on the edge of the woods about 50 yards from the 493 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,120 river. The figure stood out distinctly 494 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,080 against the light green spring foliage. 495 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,440 The creature was described as approximately 7 1/2 feet tall 496 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,600 and three feet wide, covered with black or very dark brown 497 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,880 hair about 6 inches long. They were unable to see facial 498 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,200 features but noted its massive size as they passed. 499 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,880 The figure turned to its right and walked into the woods. 500 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,080 Sighting occurred around 7:30 PM and it says second sighting July 501 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,000 2022. The same witness later reported 502 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,640 the second sighting about 60 miles north of the 1st and J 503 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,040 Cook State Park. While traveling E on Hwy. 210 504 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,280 near Oldenburg Point at around 8:00 PM, they saw the top of a 505 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,440 tree swaying vigorously. As they approached, they 506 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,000 observed a creature 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall with the massive build 507 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,520 and covered in black hair shaking the tree. 508 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,480 The tree was approximately 8 inches in diameter. 509 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,880 That's a good sized tree. Due to the 25 mile an hour speed 510 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,160 limit, they were moving slowly and had a Clearview. 511 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,160 The creature eventually turned and walked down a trail, 512 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,640 disappearing into the woods. The current report occurred 513 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,720 about 1 1/2 months later, this October 2022 and covering one 514 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,040 mile away from the second siding. 515 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,080 The witness, a single woman camping alone, reported waking 516 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,760 up from a nightmare in which someone was trying to open her 517 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000 tent zipper. She screamed, but no one was 518 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,760 there. She checked the time on her 519 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,400 phone, 330 AMA. Few minutes later, while white 520 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,360 awake, she heard three very loud, deep guttural growls. 521 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,960 About 30 seconds after that, she heard a distinct wood knock. 522 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,760 She recognized the sound from previous conversations with 523 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600 experts and her own experiences attempting wood knocks. 524 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,400 She described the volume of growl as being louder than a 525 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,760 passing train. That's loud. 526 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,840 Even though the train tracks are about a mile from the 527 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,000 campground, these sounds seem to come from the river gorge 528 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,320 located about 1/4 mile away. The sound came from a quarter 529 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,440 mile away, but it sounded louder than a train that was a mile 530 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,240 away. Pretty loud. 531 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,560 Pretty loud thing. When she got up under that 532 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,480 morning, she noticed a partial handprint on her car door and an 533 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,120 area she wouldn't have touched. We believe this report is 534 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,480 credible given the consistency of other sightings and 535 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,000 vocalizations reported in the area. 536 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,360 This particular work, coupled with the two earlier sightings, 537 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,200 strongly suggest activity in J Cook State Park. 538 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,280 We plan to investigate the area further as we live approximately 539 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160 20 miles away. Well, that's a pretty good 540 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,680 cluster of sightings right there. 541 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120 This one is dated September 1978. 542 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,640 Then we'll do one more. It says fall Crow Wing County 543 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Minnesota Location details We live 5.1 miles east of Minnesota 544 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,080 Hwy. 6 Emily, Minnesota Crow Wing County observed We live on 545 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,600 Little Pine Rd. Emily, MN for 12 years and 546 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,320 frequently heard odd animal sounds coming out of the woods. 547 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,880 There was slash is uninhabited wilderness for 20 miles north 548 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,240 and 15 miles to the South. Moments after I crawled into 549 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,800 bed, my wife whispered to me. Jim, there's something outside 550 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,280 the window. So I quietly got up and when I 551 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,960 flipped the light switch on, I saw three sets of eyes. 552 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,640 Each set of eyes was 5 to 8 inches apart. 553 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,040 They were somewhat orange around the periphery and big outlines 554 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600 of heads were pressed against the window screen. 555 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,400 Oh boy. One of the critters appeared to 556 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,080 be stooping to see into the top of the window 6 feet above the 557 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,160 ground. After a blood curdling by 558 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,280 sybilic scream, the bipedal critters run off. 559 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,440 Also notice we frequently heard animal sounds coming out of the 560 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,600 woods that I used to describe as baritone wolf howling backwards 561 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,160 in German. Unlike a wolf's howl that starts 562 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,520 with a high pitched going low, these sounds started low and 563 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840 went high. Other witnesses, just my wife 564 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,800 and I, I had just turned off the bedroom light of the stories. 565 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,520 None of the neighbors wanted to talk about their experiences. 566 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,680 That's kind of scary. Time and conditions 567 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,720 approximately 10:30 PM are normal. 568 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Bedtime follow up investigation says. 569 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,960 I spoke with the witness by telephone on June 14th. 570 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,760 He was very matter of fact and he is curious about Bigfoot. 571 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440 Years after his encounter, he was reading a book about Bigfoot 572 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,520 and realized it is nighttime. Visitors were probably just that 573 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,440 one evening in September 1978. The witness and his wife were 574 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,400 returning to bed. His wife was suddenly scared and 575 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,400 told him there was something outside the window. 576 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,880 When he turned on a light, the witness expected to see 577 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640 raccoons, but instead he observed 3 unidentified 578 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,120 creatures. One of the creatures was bending 579 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,120 over as if trying to peer into the window, another one was 580 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,880 standing straight, and the third creature was small. 581 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,160 They appeared to be trying to look into the bedroom window, 582 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,320 which was 8 feet high at the top. 583 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720 When the light was turned on, there was a sort of trilling, 584 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,920 tongue rolling noise and then they left walking bent forward. 585 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,320 The witness said the figures were definitely bipedal, but it 586 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,840 was too dark to determine the car. 587 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,720 When the witness checked the window screen, there was no 588 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,040 damage to it. He did not look for tracks 589 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,920 because the ground was too hard. The area is heavily forested. 590 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880 The witness said there is a lake about 1/4 mile to the north of 591 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,480 the house. The area is also close to the 592 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,560 Duck Lake State Wildlife Management Area and it's fairly 593 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,680 close to Hill River State Forest. 594 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800 The witness said he also heard howls or screams two or three 595 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,960 times during the period he lived at the residence. 596 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160 The vocalizations came from the other side of the lake to the 597 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,720 north of the house. I found this witness to be 598 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,080 credible. He has lived in northern 599 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,080 Minnesota since 1972. He has spent about nine years 600 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,080 working in the woods. Wouldn't that be something to go 601 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,600 down? You open the window up and wow, 602 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,560 there's three Bigfoot peering in from outside. 603 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,200 Really, really wild stuff. This was submitted. 604 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:11,320 It says January 19th, 2009. The actual sighting happened 605 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360 1992 in the summer. August to be specific happened 606 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,200 in Medina County, Minnesota. Location details 4 to 5 miles 607 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,640 north of Medina and one mile W Highway 71 nearest Rd. 608 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,120 Highway 71 or Leaf Rd. observed in 1992 or 93. 609 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,240 We visited family friends while playing outside. 610 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,360 We kids build a tent like Fort using sheets and clothespins 611 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,000 over the clothesline. Later we were called in for 612 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 dinner 8 and then watched a movie. 613 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,840 When it was time to leave, the owner of the house noticed the 614 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,720 Fort still standing and said no one is going anywhere until 615 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,280 those sheets are in the house. I was young so I got out of the 616 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,160 work and sat in the van with my mom. 617 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,480 She turned on the headlights so the others could see while 618 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,560 taking the Fort down. As we watched, my mom pointed 619 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,600 toward a shadow near a tree about 20 to 30 feet from the 620 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,280 kids and asked, do you see that shadow over there? 621 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,280 I couldn't see anything at first, so she shined the 622 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,360 flashlight near it, careful not to spook whatever it was. 623 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,480 She called my older brother, who immediately saw the figure. 624 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,880 He grabbed his flashlight and ran toward it. 625 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,000 When I approached the clothesline, I shined the light 626 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,239 on the trees nearby, avoiding directly illuminating the shadow 627 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,440 figure because I was afraid. I saw the outline of a tall, 628 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,560 dark figure, a slightly different shade than the tree 629 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,120 bark. It was about 6 1/2 to 7 feet 630 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,520 tall. I told the others that something 631 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,679 was by the tree, watching us. The figure remained motionless, 632 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,000 standing upright. We hurriedly took down the Fort, 633 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,159 gathering the sheets and tossing them into a bag before before 634 00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,400 running to the van. I sat in the vans rear facing 635 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,840 seat. My mom backed down the driveway. 636 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,560 The headlights swept over the spot where the figure had been 637 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,080 standing. Everyone except me saw the upper 638 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,040 body or shoulders of a large figure. 639 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,800 As we drove away I saw the figure running along the tree 640 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,800 line toward the road. I shouted for my mom to drive 641 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,000 faster. She said she was already going 642 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,680 30 mile an hour. The figure. 643 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,720 It ran along the ditch beside the van for nearly half a mile 644 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,840 before veering off. Its movements were fluid, with 645 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,600 long strides and arms swinging in a smooth, almost effortless 646 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,240 manner. It didn't pump its arms like a 647 00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:19,240 human sprinter. I remember my brother being 648 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:22,320 scared as he hurriedly ripped the sheets from the line, the 649 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,360 close blends flying everywhere. He was fearless in my eyes, so 650 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,440 his fear made a big impression on me. 651 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,400 When the figure chased us, I turned to look out the back 652 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,080 window and the red light from the tail lights. 653 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,960 I saw the shadow clearly, a tall figure on two legs running fast. 654 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,920 It was no more than 10 feet from the van, moving with incredible 655 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,080 speed, especially for its size. About a week before my mom and I 656 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,000 were driving to the same house, we saw what I initially thought 657 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,640 was a skunk running across the road. 658 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,600 However, after cresting the hill, we saw a path trampled 659 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,520 through a cornfield about four to five feet wide. 660 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,320 The corn was flattened, but still on the stalks. 661 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,040 Might be a big skunk, wouldn't it? 662 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,120 There are 4 witnesses, Tolas says. 663 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,240 Around the same time, a person near Sabika, north of New York 664 00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:13,360 Mills, reported seeing a large, fast, hairy figure on two legs 665 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,520 crossing his field. This sighting was about 15 years 666 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,240 earlier. Time and conditions 9:00 to 9:30 667 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:20,800 PM. Shortly after this clear and 668 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,080 pleasant weather environment, the area was more wooded than 669 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,320 with a mix of the city's trees and some Pines on the far side 670 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,680 of the yard. Follow up Investigation The 671 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,040 incident occurred in the late summer of 92 or 93. 672 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,960 The older brothers, then 12 and 13 years old, provided more 673 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,560 detailed and reliable testimony. The younger brother, 8 to 9 674 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080 years old at the time, corroborated much of the story 675 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,960 but had less precise recollections. 676 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,680 The figure was approximately 7 feet tall, 3 feet wide at the 677 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,400 shoulders, with AV shaped torso and dark fur about 3 to 4 inches 678 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,880 long. Its head was slightly crested 679 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,880 with a flat face and no visible neck. 680 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,840 Its arms reached just above its knees and swung gracefully in 681 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,040 white arcs as it ran. The figure pursued the van for 682 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,400 about a half a mile, running at an estimated 30 mile per hour 683 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,920 and a ditch alongside the road. It then veered off into an open 684 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480 field. The area has a history of 685 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,040 similar sightings and is a mix of farms, woods and swamps. 686 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,960 Well that would be pretty scary for a 1213 year old kid to see 687 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,080 one of these giant Bigfoot chasing in your van down the 688 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,600 highway. Great sightings out of 689 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,320 Minnesota. Until next time. 690 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,040 This is UFO warning over and out.
