Father and son are approached by three large bipeds while fishing at dusk west of Asbury
A father and son were night fishing from buckets on a creek bank facing a rocky, wooded bluff.

Screams and stalking at a Girl Scout camp 13 miles west of Dubuque
In the summer of 1959 the witness was working as a counselor at a wooded Girl Scout camp.

On the final night the group heard extremely loud screams that moved from near a remote tent toward a pond and creek and found a large maple branch freshly broken off, leading the witness years later to wonder if the visitor had been a Bigfoot.
