Fishermen hear screams on Moose Lake

4 September 1993 dusk Northome Mn, Itasca County, Minnesota 3 witnesses

Account

Three people were fishing quietly from a boat near shore at dusk when they heard a loud scream from the treeline past a point. They then heard branches breaking and heavy bipedal-sounding footsteps moving up a steep bank, followed by a second similar scream. They saw nothing and left quickly for the boat ramp.
