Trapper describes strange occurrences in an area deep in the Superior National Forest

12 August 2012 Afternoon St. Louis County, Minnesota 2 witnesses

Account

Two people setting bobcat traps in a secluded mature forest found a section of pine trees twisted and snapped off. Several trees were strewn across and blocked the road they were walking, while others were suspended high off the ground and woven between other trees. The witnesses felt the area was creepy and left after gathering their traps.
