Willow River, Minnesota

Account
While fleeing the farm on foot, the witness left the gravel road and became stuck in deep swamp muck and water. A large hairy bipedal female emerged from the tree line, waded to him, lifted him by his jacket, carried him back to the roadside ditch, and left. The farm operator arrived shortly after and transported the witness back to the farm.
