A family is chased by a sasquatch near Wadena

August 1992 little after dusk around 9:00 maybe 9:30 Wadena, Wadena County, Minnesota 4 witnesses

Account

After dinner at a family friend's house, children were taking down a sheet fort on a clothesline after dark while two witnesses watched from a van. They noticed a tall dark upright figure standing by a tree watching the children, then hurried into the van and drove away. As they left, the figure reportedly ran alongside in the ditch, keeping pace with the van for about a half mile before dropping back.
