Sasquatch sighting near Grand Marais, Minnesota (1969)

November 1969 daytime Grand Marais, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

The witness was deer hunting alone from a ground blind in northern Minnesota. A frightened doe ran into the blind and lay down behind the witness. Shortly after, two large hairy creatures appeared on either side, one stepping briefly out of a cornfield and another showing only the top of its head in brush, vocalizing and moving around before leaving, after which the deer walked away and the witness left.
