Man finds tracks near mine in Minnesota
Account
The witness was hiking alone in forested land around old iron mines and found fresh tracks in rocky sand, including small six-toed prints and three very large prints nearby. After examining the tracks, the witness sat on a clifftop for a couple of hours and heard an extremely loud harsh howl or screech likened to recorded sounds heard on the radio. Frightened, the witness left the area quickly.
