Group of campers has strange encounters over three nights near Fraser

August 2013 about 11pm Fraser, Boone County, Iowa 6 witnesses

Account

A group camping near a river spent three late nights walking north of their campsite to look for Sasquatch. They claim loud tree knocks, howls, grunts, heavy bipedal movement and red glowing eyes, plus a shadowy figure that rose from about five feet to about eight feet tall. They also claim a glow stick left on a gravel road was later found moved to the base of a hollow tree.
