Second-hand report of creature looking in at woman through window

1996 night La Crosse, Wisconsin And LaCresent, Minnesota, La Crosse County, Wisconsin 2 witnesses

Account

About two decades ago a woman washing dishes at night saw a large hairy-faced man looking through the window above her sink. Police were called and during the subsequent search an officer saw a tall man-like figure run across a highway. Very large tracks with a long stride were found but dogs could not track anything and the figure vanished into river bottoms. A later visitor examined a cast and said weight distribution argued against a fake shoe.
