Sasquatch sighting near Tofty, Minnesota (1988)

1988 afternoon and night Tofty, Minnesota 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were fishing from shore at a remote northern campground when they watched a tall, reddish-brown, hairy creature stand and walk down an embankment on a peninsula. After discussing the sighting and finding nearby cabins boarded and barricaded, they heard heavy footsteps and a loud growl escalating to a scream near their tent that night. They spent the night in their truck and left early the next morning.
