Hunter describes described being stalked near Minot

April 1962 about 4:00 PM in the afternoon Minot, Ward County, North Dakota 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were walking back toward their residence after hunting rabbits on the prairie outside Minot. The witness sensed they were being followed, looked back, and saw a tall, long-haired creature about 50 yards away that rose onto its hind feet and looked at them. As it started moving toward them the witness felt threatened, and both individuals ran away without looking back.
