Two men find unusual brush structure while deer hunting 10 miles east of Cambridge
Account
The witness and a relative were scouting a remote abandoned strip-mine farm for deer hunting when they followed splitting paths to the top of a spoil bank and found a woven, igloo-shaped shelter made of thorny vines with an entrance and cleared interior. They could not explain who would have built it in dense thorny vegetation with biting insects. Decades later the witness associated the structure with similar ones shown on a Bigfoot television program.
