First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 568

Footsteps near Lake Elmo, Minnesota (2000)

2000–2001 night Lake Elmo, Minnesota 8 witnesses

Account

During a month-long family camping stay at a park reserve, the group repeatedly heard bipedal footsteps, whistles, growls and mimicked speech, had food and towels taken or moved, and saw a seated silhouette watching the camp. Police with a canine and a helicopter with thermal imaging failed to locate anyone, and neighboring campers claiming military experience left abruptly. The witness does not label the cause as Bigfoot.
